Current state of things is that auto-installer start method captures return code from auto-installer engine and if it is not 0, error message with error number is displayed on the console as well as captured in SMF auto-installer log file. In case of failure, start method exists with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL and service goes to the maintenance state, otherwise it returns $SMF_EXIT_OK. Do you think this might be the right approach to follow ? Thank you, Jan
