I was under the impression that an IPS package manifest contained the set of services to be automatically imported and started as part of package installation, or temporarily disabled during package upgrade, etc. Where does one get the idea that a reboot is required for a package installation or upgrade? I don't get that idea by reading documentation: http://opensolaris.org/sc/src/pkg/gate/src/man/pkg.5.txt http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/2008.11/IMGPACKAGESYS/ipsdev.html#createipspkg -Seb _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
