Hi, I got a service which checks whether the service is already running before attempting to start it again.
Now I start it in the legacy manner i.e. "<path> <servicename> start" This starts the service. After this, when I give svcadm enable <FMRI of the service>, again it executes the start method and the previous process is killed and a new process is initiated. Can someone clarify me if the same process cannot be retained because when the smf executes the start method, it vcerifies for previous instance of the process and returns 0, which is not sufficient for the service to change to online state. So the SMF feature executes stop once and starts again. Pleas do clarify me on this. Thanks, Prasath Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.
