    I was a Sun Technical Support Engineer during the transition to Solaris 9 to 10. I must worked dozens of support cases from cu's (customers) asking why Sun eliminated the init.d scripts and how to restart a service using svcadm. Once you dig into Service Management Facility, you'll start to appreciate the advancements.

    svcs -a returns a list of services

    svcadm manages them.
