I think these paragraphs from svc.startd(1M) describe what you are looking
for:
startd/duration The duration property defines the
service's model. It can be set to
transient, child also known as "wait"
model services, or contract (the
default).
...
"Wait" model services are restarted whenever the child pro-
cess associated with the service exits. A child process that
exits is not considered an error for "wait" model services,
and repeated failures do not lead to a transition to mainte-
nance state.
