Hi Lalith, Then your validation should ensure the smf service is disabled, and I would recommend to check the same at least in the validate script.
It should be verified what happens if somebody enables cron by accident. We should avoid race conditions and failed to stop stuff by all means, so It may be necessary to include the smf check in the probe as well. Detlef Lalith Suresh wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks Detlef.
