Tools for Joyent
This is a description of adaptations which are provided for use when using Diffusion™ within the Joyent™ Cloud.
diffusion.xml
SmartOS makes use of SMF to start services at boot-time. Once tailored for the host and installed into SMF this file contains configuration for SMF to begin Diffusion at boot-time in a background process as an unprivileged user called push. This file does not create or assert the existence of a push user.
Users can stop and start Diffusion using SMF commands. For example, to start the server
sudo svcadm enable diffusion
To stop the server
sudo svcadm disable diffusion
