Do you have a timeout set for your stop method? After it has expired, svc.startd should in fact kill the processes with SIGKILL once a second until they die. See http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/svc/startd/method.c#926 (the actual killing is done at restarter.c:2248 .) If your processes are unkillable, though, I don't think svc.startd will give up. I believe this would be fixed as part of 6202081 shutdown should have a global timeout David
