I haven't tried to create a Solaris package, but I have found the following guide which seems pretty extensive: http://www.sunfreeware.com/pkgadd.html

Please make your packages available. I would love a solaris package.

hi
thanks Tenzer, i m successful and checked new package on full installed solaris 10 and it is working well but one thing more, i told you that i have minimized the solaris and when i run this package on minimized solaris then in the last at starting service it occur an error. which i paste here. can u help me that zabbix service dependent on which packages of solaris or linux.

root@test28 # ./zabbix_agentd_ctl start
./zabbix_agentd_ctl: /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd: cannot execute
./zabbix_agentd_ctl start: zabbix_agentd could not be started

Thanks & Regards,

At first glance it could seem like /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd doesn't have the execute permissions set, could you check that?
Also, you can use ldd to check if the agent has all required libraries on the system by running "ldd /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd".

root@test28 # ldd /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd
ldd: /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd: has wrong class or data encoding

Hmm, are you sure that the file is an binary file? Try to check it with the "file" command.

[kamran]

yes sir, i have checked and the output i m pasting here, please check.

root@test28 # file /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd
/opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

That sounds very odd, I don't really know what to try from here. For your comparison, here are the informations I get when I try the same on our SPARC Solaris server:

# file /opt/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd
/opt/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
# ldd /opt/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd
        libkvm.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libkvm.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
        libresolv.so.2 =>        /lib/libresolv.so.2
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/libnsl.so.1
        libkstat.so.1 =>         /lib/libkstat.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /lib/libsocket.so.1
        libpthread.so.1 =>       /lib/libpthread.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libelf.so.1 =>   /lib/libelf.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /lib/libmp.so.2
        libmd.so.1 =>    /lib/libmd.so.1
        libscf.so.1 =>   /lib/libscf.so.1
        libdoor.so.1 =>  /lib/libdoor.so.1
        libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1
        libgen.so.1 =>   /lib/libgen.so.1
        /platform/SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120/lib/libc_psr.so.1
        /platform/SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120/lib/libmd_psr.so.1

As you can see, the commands work just fine here...
