One more thing: to determine what exactly svccfg thinks is in your service description, you can use 'svccfg inventory'. For example, your manifest contains: $ svccfg inventory mybin.xml svc:/site/mybin When you add your instance, you'll see: $ svccfg inventory mybin.xml svc:/site/mybin:default svc:/site/mybin Dave
