Or is that such an unnatural thing to want.
It's not unnatural--although it's inappropriate for most services, and generally discouraged--but there is a way to do it. (Some of the postinstall scripts know how; it's accomplished by manipulating general/enabled and general_ovr/enabled in a coordinated way.) So, I think the question is "when can someone do an enable-for-next-boot RFE for svcadm(1M)?" Whenever I think about this for more than a few minutes, it seems that I would rather have the few services that really need this return an appropriate exit status if their start method is run before their boot-related state is readied. But that might actually be unnatural... - Stephen -- sch at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
