Each instance is listed only once. With no arguments, all enabled service instances, even if temporarily disabled, are listed with the columns indicated below. .sp .LP The second form prints one-line status listings for the dependencies or dependents of the service instances specified by the arguments. .sp .LP The third form prints detailed information about specific services and instances. .sp .LP The fourth form explains the states of service instances. For each argument, a block of human-readable text is displayed which explains what state the service is in, and why it is in that state. With no arguments, problematic services are described. .sp .LP Error messages are printed to the standard error stream. .sp .LP The output of this command can be used appropriately as input to the \fBsvcadm\fR(1M) command. .SH OPTIONS .sp .LP The following options are supported: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-?\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Displays an extended usage message, including column specifiers. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-a\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Show all services, even disabled ones. This option has no effect if services are selected. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-d\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Lists the services or service instances upon which the given service instances depend. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-D\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Lists the service instances that depend on the given services or service instances. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-H\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Omits the column headers. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-l\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt (The letter ell.) Displays all available information about the selected services and service instances, with one service attribute displayed for each line. Information for different instances are separated by blank lines. .sp The following specific attributes require further explanation: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBdependency\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Information about a dependency. The grouping and \fBrestart_on\fR properties are displayed first and are separated by a forward slash (\fB/\fR). Next, each entity and its state is listed. See \fBsmf\fR(5) for information about states. In addition to the standard states, each service dependency can have the following state descriptions: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBabsent\fR\fR .ad .RS 12n .rt No such service is defined on the system. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBinvalid\fR\fR .ad .RS 12n .rt The fault management resource identifier (FMRI) is invalid (see \fBsmf\fR(5)). .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBmultiple\fR\fR .ad .RS 12n .rt The entity is a service with multiple instances. .RE File dependencies can only have one of the following state descriptions: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBabsent\fR\fR .ad .RS 11n .rt No such file on the system. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBonline\fR\fR .ad .RS 11n .rt The file exists. .sp If the file did not exist the last time that \fBsvc.startd\fR evaluated the service's dependencies, it can consider the dependency to be unsatisfied. \fBsvcadm refresh\fR forces dependency re-evaluation. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBunknown\fR\fR .ad .RS 11n .rt \fBstat\fR(2) failed for a reason other than \fBENOENT\fR. .RE See \fBsmf\fR(5) for additional details about dependencies, grouping, and \fBrestart_on\fR values. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fBenabled\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt Whether the service is enabled or not, and whether it is enabled or disabled temporarily (until the next system reboot). The former is specified as either \fBtrue\fR or \fBfalse\fR, and the latter is designated by the presence of \fB(temporary)\fR. .sp A service might be temporarily disabled because an administrator has run \fBsvcadm disable -t\fR, used \fBsvcadm milestone\fR, or booted the system to a specific milestone. See \fBsvcadm\fR(1M) for details. .RE .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB-L\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Display the log file of the selected services and service instances, one per-line. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-o\fR \fIcol\fR[,\fIcol\fR]...\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Prints the specified columns. Each \fIcol\fR should be a column name. See \fBCOLUMNS\fR below for available columns. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-p\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Lists processes associated with each service instance. A service instance can have no associated processes. The process ID, start time, and command name (\fBPID\fR, \fBSTIME\fR, and \fBCMD\fR fields from \fBps\fR(1)) are displayed for each process. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-R\fR \fIFMRI-instance\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Selects service instances that have the given service instance as their restarter. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-s\fR \fIcol\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Sorts output by column. \fIcol\fR should be a column name. See \fBCOLUMNS\fR below for available columns. Multiple \fB-s\fR options behave additively. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-S\fR \fIcol\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Sorts by \fIcol\fR in the opposite order as option \fB-s\fR. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-v\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Without \fB-x\fR or \fB-l\fR, displays verbose columns: \fBSTATE\fR, \fBNSTATE\fR, \fBSTIME\fR, \fBCTID\fR, and \fBFMRI\fR. .sp With \fB-x\fR, displays extra information for each explanation. .sp With \fB-l\fR, displays user-visible properties in property groups of type \fBapplication\fR and their description. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-x\fR\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Displays explanations for service states. .sp Without arguments, the \fB-x\fR option explains the states of services which: .RS +4 .TP .ie t \(bu .el o are enabled, but are not running. .RE .RS +4 .TP .ie t \(bu .el o are preventing another enabled service from running. .RE .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB-z \fIzone\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Display only the services in the \fIzone\fR. This option is only applicable in the global zone, see \fBzones\fR(5). .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB-Z\fR .ad .RS 20n .rt Display services from all zones, with an additional column indicating in which zone the service is running. This option is only applicable in the global zone, see \fBzones\fR(5). .RE .SH OPERANDS .sp .LP The following operands are supported: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fIFMRI\fR\fR .ad .RS 17n .rt A fault management resource identifier (FMRI) that specifies one or more instances (see \fBsmf\fR(5)). FMRIs can be abbreviated by specifying the instance name, or the trailing portion of the service name. For example, given the FMRI: .sp .in +2 .nf svc:/network/smtp:sendmail .fi .in -2 .sp The following are valid abbreviations: .sp .in +2 .nf sendmail :sendmail smtp smtp:sendmail network/smtp .fi .in -2 .sp The following are invalid abbreviations: .sp .in +2 .nf mail network network/smt .fi .in -2 .sp If the FMRI specifies a service, then the command applies to all instances of that service, except when used with the \fB-D\fR option. .sp Abbreviated forms of FMRIs are unstable, and should not be used in scripts or other permanent tools. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fIpattern\fR\fR .ad .RS 17n .rt A pattern that is matched against the \fIFMRI\fRs of service instances according to the "globbing" rules described by \fBfnmatch\fR(5). If the pattern does not begin with \fBsvc:\fR, then \fBsvc:/\fR is prepended.
