Re: [zones-discuss] How to enable a service of a zone that is not running...
Thanks to everyone that responded! Of the options presented, I believe that the best option that will have the longest supportability across Solaris and OpenSolaris versions over time is... ...create an rc script in the zone with the svcadm enable command which removes itself after executing the svcadm command. - Bernd Schemmer Thanks again!

It should be possible to do it since the integration of PSARC 2008/015 svccfg refresh subcommand in nevada. eg. # svccfg svc: repository zonepath/etc/svc/repository.db svc: select instance_FMRI svc: setprop general/enabled = true svc: refresh svc: exit I've never tried it though and I'm not sure you can manipulate the 'general' property group offline.

Re: [zones-discuss] How to enable a service of a zone that is not running...
Not exactly. That will work if the zone is running. However, it will not work for a non-running zone because because it requires an execution environment to run within. Imagine if you will that we created a zone and then shut it down and halted it. Now, while the zone is down how can I enable say the smb service which is disabled by default.
