Some more you can disable: svc:/system/webconsole:console svc:/application/management/wbem:default Not all the services you see are daemon processes. A bunch of them are ephemeral. These are scripts that run some commands during boot and the commands complete and exit. The service state is moved to online but there is no process associated. You can see processes associated with a service using: svcs -p <service name> Regards, Moinak. > -- Manish > > > _______________________________________________ > ug-bosug mailing list > List-Unsubscribe: mailto:ug-bosug-unsubscribe at opensolaris.org > List-Owner: mailto:ug-bosug-owner at opensolaris.org > List-Archives: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=54 >
