Just to clarify ... for this case, you ran these two commands: svcadm disable <FMRI> svcadm disable -t <FMRI> and then rebooted, right? If so, then why were you surprised to see that the application doesn't start after a reboot? The first command disables the application -- both now and after a reboot. The second command just disables it now, leaving it still disabled after the reboot. > I did a 'svcprop <FMRI>' of my test application in scenario 'B' (after > disable -t but before the reboot) and saved that output.

Both had these fields the same: svcprop shows you a composite of running and saved state. I think you want "-c" to look at the state for next reboot. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
