I think that's basically it. However, another way of putting it is like this: At present, svcadm enable/disable changes both the current and permanent state of a service. We can change the current state of a service, leaving the permanent state unchanged with the -t option. What we need is the counterpart that changes the permanent state of the service without affecting the current state. Maybe enable/disable -p? My expectation is that this would require the same level of permission as a regular enable/disable. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
