Yes. In the start method, if you detect start failure, then you can run
"svcadm disable" on yourself. This is a kludge since if the svcadm
disable doesn't take effect before you exit, svc.startd will try to
restart you, so we usually sleep for bit. A better option will be
available after
6245225 RFE: SMF_EXIT_DISABLE and SMF_EXIT_DISABLE_TEMPORARY
is fixed.
