you're dead right about the general_ovr/enabled property, but bear in mind the value it's overriding is general/enabled, so if this is set to false also (as it would be after importing a service with disabled instances), all the "svcadm disable -t" is doing is overriding a persistent "disabled" value with one that does not persist across reboot. adding a "svccfg -s <instance_fmri> setprop general/enabled = true" after the temporary disable should do the trick. however, in your situation it might be preferable to add an entry to the site.xml profile for your service enabling it instead (this will be applied on reboot i believe). alan This message posted from opensolaris.org
