Okay, now I am a bit confused. What I want is for my daemon to exit, marking the service as in maintenance mode and for the daemon to not be restarted. Rebooting should but everything back to normal. So, do I use smf_maintain_instance or smf_disable_instance or both, with SMF_IMMEDIATE or SMF_TEMPORARY or both flags. And should I exit, or wait for SMF to kill the daemon. Or should I use smf_get_state to test the stae before exiting on my own? -- blu "When Congress started Daylight Savings Time earlier, did they even consider what affect an extra hour of daylight would have on global warming?
