Are you saying that you would like the output of your own rc scripts to be displayed on the console rather than in the log files? If it's the case then the SMF verbose logging option is not going to help.
What you should do is modify your rc scripts so they explicitly output to the console. eg. add the following at the beginning of your scripts: [ -x /lib/svc/bin/svc.startd ] && exec 1> /dev/sysmsg 2>&1 Regards, Renaud Sean Liu wrote: > When doing jumpstarts, to install 3rd party softwares, a few RC scripts were > created and run after the system reboot.
