No, because services can depend on multi-user-server. In fact, the service which starts zones does. There isn't an easy way to do this. One way would be to check that the state of all services reported by "svcs" are either "legacy_run" or "online". Though you would neet to make an exception for services which temporarily disable themselves. And this wouldn't be stable, since "svcs" output is unstable. Feel free to file an RFE. David
