hald(1M) System Administration Commands hald(1M)NAMEhald - daemon that supports hardware abstraction layer
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/hal/hald [--daemon={yes | no}]] [--help] [--use-syslog]
[--verbose={yes | no}] [--version]
DESCRIPTION
The hald daemon supports the recognition of hardware changes for
devices that conform to the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) specifica‐
tion.
The enabling and disabling of hald can be performed through the service
management facility (SMF) (see smf(5)). hald is managed using the fault
management resource identifier (FMRI) svc:/system/hal. Options can be
specified as SMF properties. See EXAMPLES.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--daemon Run as a daemon.
--help Display usage information and exit.
--use-syslog Display debug messages to syslog instead of stderr. Use
this option to record debug messages if HAL runs as
daemon.
--verbose Display debug information.
--version Display version information and exit.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Specifying a Property
The following svccfg(1M) command specifies the --verbose option.
example# svccfg
svc:> select hal
svc:/system/hal> listprop hal/*
hal/verbose boolean false
hal/use_syslog boolean false
svc:/system/hal> setprop hal/verbose=true
svc:/system/hal> exit
