OK. I think that I understand. svcs gets the name of the log file from the restarter/logfile property for the instance. In this case the restarter property group is created and populated by svc.startd. The restarter property group is a nonpersistent property group, however. Nonpersistent property groups are lost on reboot.
Thus, I think that you will only find a restarter/logfile property for services that have been started since the last reboot. The corollary to this is that svcs will only print a logfile for these services. Is this consistent with your experience? tom Alexandre Dumont writes: > I get nothing :-( : > > adumont$ svcprop svc:/site/xvm/vbox:test01 | grep restarter/logfile > adumont$ > > > On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 9:20 PM, Tom Whitten <thomas.whitten at sun.com> > wrote: > > > Interesting.
