>From a brief look at the code it appears that svc.startd says "Disabled." when it first sees a disabled service (transition from the uninitialized state to the disabled state), and when a service which was enabled but not running is disabled (offline -> disabled). It appears that svc.startd says "Stopping because service disabled." when it stops a running service in response to a disable request (online & degraded -> disabled). David
