Create an SMF manifest file that defines a service that executes a script.
The start method of the service executes the first-boot script.
This example specifies the multi-user dependency to make sure that the first-boot script executes late in the startup sequence after first boot. Depending on what your first-boot script does, you might not need such a dependency. If you do not specify such a dependency, your script might run before the system is adequately configured.
The completed property is defined with a value of false.
You can use the svcbundle command to generate a valid service manifest. In the following example, notice that by default, a manifest generated by the svcbundle command specifies a transient service and specifies the multi-user dependency.
Example 8 Generated SMF Service ManifestIn the following command, the name of the script shown in Manually Creating a Script to Run at First Boot is specified as the value of start-method. The name of the script is specified as /opt/site/first-boot-script.sh because the package created in How to Create and Publish the IPS Package for a First-Boot Script installs the first-boot-script.sh script into /opt/site/first-boot-script.sh.
In the following command, the completed property is specified by a colon-separated list of property group name, property name, property type, and initial property value.
$ svcbundle -s service-name=site/first-boot-script-svc \ -s start-method=/opt/site/first-boot-script.sh \ -s instance-property=config:completed:boolean:false \ > first-boot-script-svc-manifest.xml
In the generated service manifest shown below, the first-boot script, /opt/site/first-boot-script.sh, is the value of the exec attribute of the start method. The completed property is specified in the instance element that defines the default instance of this service, first-boot-script-svc:default.
