How to run git as daemon on Solaris (SmartOS)

As stated in subject. I have this script that works fine from command line:

#!/sbin/sh

GITCOMMAND="git daemon --base-path=/my/git/repo --export-all --enable=receive-pack --reuseaddr"


startcmd () {
    `$GITCOMMAND`
}

stopcmd () {
    pkill -f "git *"
}

case "$1" in

'start')
        startcmd
        ;;
'stop')
        stopcmd
        ;;
'restart')
        stopcmd
        sleep 1
        startcmd

        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

and this SMF configuration:

  
  
  
  
    
  
  

    
  

  
    
    
      
      
    
  


      type="method"
    name="start"
    exec="/usr/local/bin/start-stop-git.sh start"
    timeout_seconds="60"/>

      type="method"
    name="stop"

    exec="/usr/local/bin/start-stop-git.sh stop"
    timeout_seconds="60"/>

  
    
    
  

  
  


  

  
  

service registers and enables without any errors on command line, but does not run:

# svcs -xv
svc:/site/git-server:default (git server service)
 State: maintenance since Sun Mar 16 02:29:04 2014
Reason: Method failed.
   See: http://illumos.org/msg/SMF-8000-8Q
   See: /var/svc/log/site-git-server:default.log

Impact: This service is not running.

Log file does not reveal much:

# cat /var/svc/log/site-git-server:default.log
[ Mar 16 02:29:04 Enabled. ]
[ Mar 16 02:29:04 Executing start method ("/usr/local/bin/start-stop-git.sh start"). ]
[ Mar 16 02:29:04 Stopping because service exited with a configuration error. ]

I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help will be appreciated.

OK, so I found a problem in my SMF config XML. If anyone would benefit from this, here's the working solution:

/usr/local/bin/start-stop-git.sh

#!/sbin/sh

GITCOMMAND="git daemon --base-path=/my/git/repo --export-all --enable=receive-pack --reuseaddr"


startcmd () {
    `$GITCOMMAND`
}

stopcmd () {
    pkill -f "git *"
}

case "$1" in

'start')
        startcmd
        ;;
'stop')
        stopcmd
        ;;
'restart')
        stopcmd
        sleep 1
        startcmd

        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

git-server.xml:

  
  
  
  
    
  
  

    
  

  
    
    
      
      
    
  


      type="method"
    name="start"
    exec="/usr/local/bin/start-stop-git.sh start"
    timeout_seconds="60"/>

      type="method"
    name="stop"

    exec="/usr/local/bin/start-stop-git.sh stop"
    timeout_seconds="60"/>

  
    
    
  

  
  


  

  
  

To install and verify:

#svccfg import git-server.xml
#svcadm enable git-server
#svcs -xv

The last command should not print anything if system is healthy.
