Well, I hesitate to file RFEs for something that is easily done by some other administrative means, and I'm not sure how much work would have to be done by the SMF team to fix this. Especially when there's so many other useful things that could be added to SMF. So, open call to the SMF community: pile-on to this thread if you think SMF should be able to kill all processes in a transient service if the start method fails. Right now, there's no :kill for transient services. Just because I think it's useful doesn't mean most people find it useful. :) CT
