Sarting with Solaris 10 the [i]svc.startd[/i] daemon replaces the [i]init [/i]process as the master starter and restarter; in other words [i]svc.startd[/i] assumes the role of starting system services.
The services started by svc.startd are refered to as [u]milestones[/u]. A milestone is made up of several SMF services. This is a concept that replaces the traditional run-levels that were used in the previous version of Solaris. For example: milestone/single-user <=> run-level S milestone/multi-user <=> run-level 2 milestone/multi-user-server <=> run-level 3 To verify the current milestone(s) use the [i]svcs[/i] command: svcs -a | grep milestone to change into another milestone (i.e. single-user) svcadm milestone single-user This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
