How to Disable the Console Service

When the console server is disabled, the server does not start when the system boots.

Starting with the Solaris 10 11/06 release, this procedure sets the console's general/enabled property to false in SMF , so that the console server does not start when the system boots.

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Disable the server from starting when the system boots.

   # smcwebserver disable

   Solaris 10 11/06: Alternatively, if you want to both stop the server now, and disable the server from starting when the system boots, use the command:

   # svcadm disable system/webconsole:console

   ---

   Note –

   If you are running the Solaris 10 11/06 release, you cannot disable the console with the smcwebserver command. You must use the svcadm command.
