I have a daemon process that I wrote being executed by SMF. The problem is when an error occurs, I have fail code and then it will need to restart from scratch. Right now it is sending sys.exit(0) (Python), but SMF keeps throwing it in maintenance mode.
I've worked with SMF enough to know that it sometimes auto-restarts certain services (and lets others fail and have you deal with them like this). How do I classify this process as one that needs to auto-restart? Is it an SMF setting, a method of failing, what?
As it turns out, I had two pkills in a row to make sure everything was terminated correctly. The second one, naturally, was exiting something other than 0. Changing this to include an exit 0 at the end of the script solved the problem.
