Solaris Service Management Facility Utilities & Description

svcs

# svcs -a
: Lists all services currently installed, including their state.

# svcs -d FMRI
: Lists dependencies for FMRI.

# svcs -D FMRI
: Lists dependents for FMRI.

# svcs -l FMRI
: Provides a long listing of information about FMRI; includes
dependency information

# svcs -p FMRI
: Shows relationships between services and processes.

# svcs -t
: This change is temporary (does not persist past a boot).

# svcs -x
: Explains why a service is not available.

# svcs -xv
: Verbose debugging information.

svcadm

# /usr/sbin/svcadm -v enable [-rst] {FMRI | pattern}
:Enables the service instances specified

# /usr/sbin/svcadm -v disable [-st] {FMRI | pattern}
: Disables the service instance specified by the operands

# /usr/sbin/svcadm -v restart {FMRI | pattern}
: Requests that the service  instances  specified  by  the operands  be  restarted.

# /usr/sbin/svcadm -v refresh {FMRI | pattern}
: For each service instance  specified  by  the  operands,requests   that   the   assigned  restarter  update  the
service's running configuration snapshot with the values from  the  current  configuration.

# /usr/sbin/svcadm -v clear {FMRI | pattern}
: For each service instance specified by the operands,  if the  instance is in the maintenance state, signal to the
assigned restarter that the service has  been  repaired.If  the  instance is in the degraded state, request that
the assigned restarter take the service  to  the  online state.

# /usr/sbin/svcadm -v mark [-It] instance_state {FMRI | pattern}
: If instance_state is "maintenance", then for  each  service specified by the operands, svcadm requests that the
assigned restarter place the service in the  maintenancestate.
Eg:- svcadm -v mark -t maintenance telnet
marks the telnet service as in maintenance mode
: If  instance_state  is  "degraded",  then  for  services specified  by  the  operands in the online state, svcadm
requests that the restarters assigned  to  the  services move them into the degraded state.

# /usr/sbin/svcadm [-v] milestone [-d] milestone_FMRI
Eg:-
1. The following command restricts the running services to single user mode:

# svcadm milestone milestone/single-user

2. The following command restores the running services:

# svcadm milestone all

Options:
enable [-rst]
-r : svcadm enables each  service instance and recursively enables its dependencies
-s : svcadm enables each  service  instance  and then waits for each service instance
   to enter the  online  or  degraded  state.  svcadm  will return  early  if  it determines that the service cannot
   reach these states without administrator intervention.
-t : svcadm  temporarily enables  each  service  instance.  Temporary enable only
   lasts until reboot

disable [-st]
  -s : svcadm disables each service  instance  and then waits for each service instance
        to enter the disabled state. svcadm will return early if it  determines  that the service cannot reach this state
        without administrator intervention
   -t : option is specified, svcadm  temporarily  disables  each  service  instance.  Temporary  disable only
        lasts until reboot.

mark [-It]
 -I : option is specified, the request is flagged as immediate
-t : Perform temporarily 


Inetadm

# inetadm 
   The inetadm utility provides the following capabilities  for
     inetd-managed SMF services:

         o    Provides a list of all such services installed.

         o    Lists the services' properties and values.

         o    Allows enabling and disabling of services.

         o    Allows  modification   of   the   services'property
              values,  as  well as the default values provided by
              inetd.
Options:

   -p
         Lists all default inet service property values  provided
         by  inetd  in the form of name=value pairs. If the value
         is of boolean type, it is listed as TRUE or FALSE.

   -l {FMRI | pattern}...

       List all properties for the specified service  instances
         as  name=value pairs. In addition, if the property value
         is inherited from the default value provided  by  inetd,
         the   name=value   pair   is  identified  by  the  token
         (default). Property inheritance occurs  when  properties
         do not have a specified service instance default.

   -e {FMRI | pattern}...

       Enable the specified service instances.

   -d {FMRI | pattern}...

       Disable the specified service instances.

   -m {FMRI | pattern}...{name=value}...

       Change the values of the  specified  properties  of  the
         identified  service  instances. Properties are specified
         as whitespace-separated name=value pairs. To  remove  an
         instance-specific value and accept the default value for
         a property, simply specify the property without a value,
         for example, name= .

   -M {name=value}...

       Change the values Globally (default properties).
       Properties  are specified as whitespace-separated name=value pairs.
Examples:
# inetadm -l network/rpc/spray:default

inetconv 

The inetconv utility converts a file containing records of inetd.conf into smf service
manifests, and then import those manifests into the smf repository. Once the inetd.conf file has been converted,
the only way to change aspects of an inet service is to use the inetadm utility.

Example:

Adding the Swat to inetadmin
create a file containing a valid inted.conf-style entry for swat

#vi example /inet.swat
--------------------
swat   stream   tcp   nowait  root   /usr/sfw/sbin/swat   swat
--------------------    

Now run inetconv as follows:-

# inetconv  -i  /inet.swat
      
swat -> /var/svc/manifest/network/swat-tcp.xml
Importing swat-tcp.xml ...Done    

Now swat can be enabled (Note the service name):-

#  inetadm -e
svc:/network/swat/tcp:default
