We have two services, one of which is dependent on the other. Call them A and B. B requires that A is running. (For that matter, I think that A requires that B is running, but we'll ignore that for a moment.)
If we want to restart both of them, we can do something like svcadm disable -s B svcadm disable -s A svcadm enable -s A svcadm enable -s B It sure seems like there should be an "svcadm restart" that does the right thing. I suspect that it's "svcadm restart A". Does that do the right thing? If so, why? My guess is that it 1) stops B because it depends on A 2) stops A (because you asked for a restart of A) 3) starts A (because you asked for a restart of A) 4) starts B (because it's enabled and its dependencies are running) Correct?
