No, it isn't. Since holding a contract on a set of processes is really only meaningful if you are willing and able to react to failures in those processes, there isn't a way to assign a contract to another process. > I want to make them so that they are > independent of each other.

Alternatively, (if possible) you can start ProcA and ProcNew from different services. Lastly, if you don't need the restarting capabilities of svc.startd, you can set the startd/ignore_error property to limit the events that will cause svc.startd to restart your service. Dave
