Of course if I use 'svcadm disable' it gets disabled. What I meant was if I reboot. Which runs the :kill method. >> smf thinks it got disabled and doesn't restart it.

Nothing more than what is indicated in the post above. [root at test:~]# svcadm enable dns/server [root at test:~]# svcs -xv dns/server svc:/network/dns/server:default (?) State: online since Mon May 15 12:48:19 2006 See: man -M /usr/man -s 1M named See: /var/svc/log/network-dns-server:default.log Impact: None. [root at test:~]# pkill named [root at test:~]# svcs -xv dns/server svc:/network/dns/server:default (?) State: disabled since Mon May 15 12:48:32 2006 Reason: Disabled by an administrator. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05 See: man -M /usr/man -s 1M named See: /var/svc/log/network-dns-server:default.log Impact: This service is not running. Note that with Sun's named, svcs will show it is running after the pkill. Because the restarter restarts it. The relevant svc log output can be found in the post linked to above. > Did you svcadm enable -t? Or just svcadm enable? Just enable. I'm not *that* bad. :) -frank
