On FreeBSD when I stop the Xymon client process it doesn't clean up all of its children. Primarily you'll find that the vmstat command is not sent a signal and continues to run ... indefinitely?
I have observed this behavior on Solaris, but the vmstat does eventually disappear. It does not run forever.

However, the result is that you can't do a restart on Solaris 10 with SMF if you are using vmstat. I have patched my scripts on Solaris to kill the child processes.
Ahhh. I haven't run into this problem because I'm not trying to use SMF to control it. I use " ~/server/xymon.sh restart " if I want to restart it interactively as the non-priv'd user. As root, my init-script does about the same thing.
For future reference, how did you modify your manifest or scripts to meet your needs?
