A very quick and dirty "applet" to run to be notified of SMF services that are in maintenance.


Put the following in you path somewhere and then add that to the list of things GNOME starts for you at login: System->Preferences->Startup Applications


#!/bin/kshwhile [ true ] ; do message="$(svcs -H -o fmri,state -s state | \ awk '$2 ~/maintenance/ {printf("%s\nState: %s", $1, $2)}')" notify-send -i remove -u critical "$message" > /dev/null 2>&1 sleep 1mdone
