A few comments:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.5 Are milestones the same as run levels?
0. Fix typo "none, single-user, multi-user, multi-user-default, all "
^^^^^^^
This should be multi-user-server
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.12 Where are SMF logs? Do I need to rotate them?
1. There should be a reference to /etc/svc/volatile.
/etc/svc/volatile Directory where svc.startd stores
log files in early stages of boot,
before /var is mounted read-write.
2. You wrote:
You can see the filename of the log for any service by invoking
# svcs -x <service>
This doesn't work for services that are disabled.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.13 Location of SMF files
3. Add "/etc/svc - repositories, logs"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1.14 Other documentation for SMF outside the man pages
4. Add Solaris 10 System Administrator Collection >> System Administration
Guide: Basic Administration
"http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/6mhm8o5rq?q=817-1985&a=view";
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2.13 How do I find out what is my system's default milestone?
5. Fix typo "If options/milestone does not exist, the default milstone is
"all"."
^^^^^^^^
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2.14 How do I leave my current milestone?
6. Replace "# svcadm <new milestone>" by "# svcadm milestone <new milestone>"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2.16 How do I find out what processes are associated with my service?
7. I prefer "svcs -pv" as it also returns the contract ids.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2.17 How do I find see the process privilege sets of my service?
8. Fix title "How do I find see"
^^^^^^^^
-------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2.18 How do I assign my service to run in a project?
9. You wrote "In general, you should not create this property just by itself;"
but
what is the property you're referring to?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nice work!
