Yes, the thought was how to answer the question, "what is the uptime of service xyz?" If we could count how many seconds we spent in each state for each service then we could answer that question. The next question is "how many times did my service change state?" which is just another counter. It seems to me that adding a bunch of kstats to svc.startd and a 1 second timer should do it. I thought I filed an RFE on this long ago... -- richard
