3 Primary SMF Utilities:
1. svcs – lists services and provides additional info
2. svcadm – permits interation with services, including state transitions.
3. svccfg – permits interaction with service configuration database

# For modifying parameters passed to ttymon, use svccfg(1m) to modify

svc.startd – is the default service restarter/manager
inetadm – is the default, delegated service restarter
FMRIs provide categories for services:
1. network
2. milestones
3. platform
4. system

svcs -d FMRI – returns required services for FMRI

returns all the services, that must be started before sendmail can start successfully
