[rescue] Solaris 11 SMF oddity

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Phil,

I'm sure you have probably already checked this, but I am curious anyway, 
specifically regarding your "bacula" service.

I'm sure that any Bacula daemons would create log files that would probably 
provide some assistance and insight, but I am specifically wondering if you have 
checked the "bacula service" log file.

i.e., when you are logged in as root, and do something like/similar to this:

# svcs -l bacula

typically, the 4th line from the bottom list the location for the log file for 
the bacula service.

More often than not, if the daemon log file itself won't provide specific 
insight as to why it won't stay running, the service fault management log file 
will typically provide insight as to why the daemon won't stay running after the 
fault management services try (and fail) xxxx number of times.

Good luck,

Jerry
