The SMF repository is where all of the basic information about SMF services are stored. The primary interface is libscf. svc.startd starts, stops, and otherwise manages the services which have been registered in the repository. > I'm trying to fix the bite-size bug 6248378 and I'm trying to understand the > relation between the svccfg and svc.startd. svccfg is a tool for accessing the repository. svccfg import translates service manifest files (see /var/svc/manifest) into service properties and stores them in the repository. svccfg's interactive mode allows users to explore and manipulate individual service properties, amongst other activities.
