The main purpose of SMF appears to be to drum up business for Sun's
training courses by radically changing Sol10 Administration for little
benefit.
The main purpose of SMF was to make it possible to programmatically
control the system and deal with the myriad of different types of
faults from the gazillion different things that people want to run
on machines. It's complex because it has to deal with the real
world.
There's also some sort of functionality included, which is comparable
with daemontools (depending if you enable this in the xml description
or not). You could say this is included in your "deal with ... faults"
above, but for people not aware of this it may be nice to know.
Bye,
Alexander.
