Hi; new to S10 and SMF. Am attempting to convert over some legacy services of ours to SMF. Here's the problem I'm running into. We have an interactive script run by the user to set up the node for our software; it does a lot of stuff. We would like to set up our applications to be added into SMF, but we don't want them started; we instead want them enabled following a required reboot, so it would seem we would do the following: 1) svccfg import <manifest file> 2) svcadm disable -t <service> Then following the reboot the service is brought up enabled. However, it does not appear that one can just set up the service with the 'disable -t'. I'm not sure what property gets affected with the -t option, but so far the only way to temporarily mark a service disabled is to first enable it, then do the disable -t. Why can I not import the service definition and then mark it temporarily disabled? This message posted from opensolaris.org
