I'm for using enable/disable to mean setting permanent state, and start/stop as in "do it now, just for now". There's no point in making start/stop alias for something else readily available with a switch. I just read this CR for the first time, and while start/stop is nice and conforms to *nix standard use, I think enable/disable -t is enough if the concept has been explained in the right context. I don't think I've ever had this question raised in any one of SMF sessions I've given. CT
