SG: package with no SERVICEs

[Adam Garsha]

11.17. I want to use SG to automate mounting/unmounting a utility volume/filesystems; I don't want any monitoring scripts for this package. In short, I am just seeking to make it easy to move a clump of storage around in my cluster--there are no apps that are related to this package, it is utility/scratch storage.

Is it ok to have a package that doesn't define any SERVICE_* (name,cmd,restart)?

Namely, is it supported to have no Services in an SG package?

I just tried it and it seems to work well... no more lame sleeping-while loop scripts...

Is it supported? Thanks!

Yes. You can have a package without services, without IP addresses and even without storage and filesystems if you want. You can have nothing and everything and any combination is supported, although having nothing would be kind of redundant!

I agree with the above answers.

I have a Package without service and everything goes fine.

Yes u can configure the SG without adding any service.

See above. You don't need service (or ip for that matter or subnet).
