A lot of people are having issues with com.apple.IconServicesAgent. Since this is a very new issue, Google was no help and `man iconservicesd` is even more hilarious. I eventually fixed it, when I was working on a completely different issue (that is still not fixed). The instructions are below and on the Apple Support Forum, https://discussions.…

I was chasing down another issue (slow "Save As") and thought these two issues may have been related (with QuickLook being the common broken link). Unfortunately, my "Save As" dialog is still miserably slow on the initial load; but IconServicesAgent hasn't gone above 30MB and he rarely makes an appearance in the Console!

Some of these steps may not be necessary, but here are all of the steps I took that inadverdently put IconServicesAgent back in its place. Note: all commands are a single-line, if they appear to be multiple that's just the forum formatting.

  1. Check for any QuickLooks related .plist files. In a terminal: mdfind com.apple.quicklook. -name .plist

  2. I only had files at the system level (specifically within /System/Library/LaunchAgents/). If you have others, modify the directions below to take that into account (re-introducing plist files from the system level back up to the user).

  3. Make some temporary directories to store these plist files, just in case: mkdir ~/tmp-quicklook

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

SmartOS rc.local

So, to get something like /etc/rc.local you can use the custom SMF import facility. (See the source for more information about how this actually works.)

/opt is mounted out of zones/opt by default. You can create a directory /opt/custom/smf and populate it with SMF manifests. Any manifests you put in there will be imported by SmartOS when it boots. Below is an example SMF manifest that simply starts /opt/custom/bin/postboot, a self-explanatory shell script that you can use like /etc/rc.local.

Note that it would likely be better to customise and respin your own images, as putting a bunch of platform state in the zones pool undoes some of the benefits of the ramdisk platform architecture that SmartOS has.
