Unless I'm misreading your suggestion this will tell the server to "start or return the code"
I don't think this will prevent SMF from trying to restart the service if it dies/kill -9. If one of the dependencies fail or the service can not start for some reason SMF will report the maintenance status but not if the service is killed or dies. Thank you for the suggestion though. I have not seen this as an option anywhere else and may be of use in other scenarios, but unless I'm just not thinking right I don't think it will satisfy my requirement.
