[smf-discuss] automatic repair

[Jordan Brown (Sun)]

We have a configuration script that basically does

        svcadm enable -s $ourservice
        if the service is in maintenance mode
            svcadm clear $ourservice

in the hopes that the clear will bring the service online.

My instinctive reaction is that the service shouldn't go into 
maintenance mode in the first place if clearing it would repair it, and 
so logic like this is not appropriate.

Any opinions?
