I'd like that too, in particular I'd like svcs -L <fmri> to use $PAGER to show me the log file. I don't think a new svclog command is needed. > The second feature is finding a the methods of a service easily. To find the > names of the methods used by a service again takes multiple steps.

Your second one is easy and already available as a single command: svcprop -p start/exec <fmri> For example: $ svcprop -p start/exec svc:/system/cryptosvc:default /usr/sbin/cryptoadm\ %m So no new svcmethods command should be needed here since svcprop already does this for you. -- Darren J Moffat
