Take a look at svccfg selectsnap and revert. They're documented in the manpage. I believe there's a procedure for using them in the System Administration Guide as well, but could be wrong. I'd really expect that reverting to the snapshot would be an exceptional operation, not a normal one though. Most configuration errors are recovered from by identifying for the user the part of their config that's broken and having them repair the individual broken pieces, not by asking the user to undo all of their customizations and start from scratch. liane
