#### Service Management with svcadm ######

Disable service:

svcadm disable FMRI

svcadm disable -s FMRI – stops each service instance

svcadm disable -s sendmail – stop default instance

svcadm disable -t FMRI – effects temporary disable ( when systems reboots it will start )

Note: svcadm really delegates service management to default restarter. i.e. svc.startd

0-bash-3.00# grep svc /etc/inittab # For modifying parameters passed to ttymon, use svccfg(1m) to modify # # svccfg # svc:> select system/console-login # svc:/system/console-login> setprop ttymon/terminal_type = "xterm" # svc:/system/console-login> exit smf::sysinit:/lib/svc/bin/svc.startd >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog


Enable service:
svcadm enable FMRI - enables FMRI accross ALL reboots

svcadm enable -t FMRI - enables FMRI for current sessions ( test, developers )

svcadm enable -r FMRI - ALL dependencies are enabled ( recursive switch )

svcadm enable -s FMRI - enables each service instance 
svcadm -v refresh smtp ( reread configuration files of smtp, same PID) 
svcadm -v restart smtp  ( new PIDS)
PIDS
