[ofa-general] opensm as service - cfg files

[Philippe Gregoire]

Hi Yevgeny,

Is it possible to write this service so it will be able to manage multiple instances of opensm on the same node, I mean start and stop all instances at the same time or separately.
This will be very usefull when you have several Infiniband storage devices connected directly to one node,
so you have to run several opensm -g guid processes on this node.

It is authorized to have a service that understand parameters like:
service start 0x8000010232
or 
service start ddn12.conf
