Greetings,

I would like to gain a better understanding of  the service manipulation 
actuators.

It looks to me, there is  usually one actuator attached to some file action.

I  do not understand why an actuator can not just be run by itself.

e.g.:

I deploy a set of service xml-s,  and each one (or, myb just the last one) 
features  the importer restart_fmri actuator, so
they are imported by the time the I am done with my "file" actions.

At this point, it would make sense to trigger the service restart_fmri (say, 
via wildcard)  
to restart / start all the services I have just deployed.

At this point, the action I want to perform is not tied to any specific file's 
deployment.
(All my file deployments are all done at this point)

The man page does not spell out all the details, e.g.: can I use multiple 
actuators per action?
Should I perform some bogus file action, such as re-setting permissions on an 
arbitrary file
I already deployed so that I can run the service restart actuator?  
That would  feel a bit awkward,  maybe there is a better way.
 
So why do I need a file action to hang the actuator on?

TIA for any clarification.
