Service States

The svcs command displays the state, start time, and FMRI of service instances. The state of each service is one of the following:

• degraded – The service instance is enabled, but is running at a limited capacity.

• disabled – The service instance is not enabled and is not running.

• legacy_run – The legacy service is not managed by SMF, but the service can be observed. This state is only used by legacy services.

• maintenance – The service instance has encountered an error that must be resolved by the administrator.

• offline – The service instance is enabled, but the service is not yet running or available to run.

• online – The service instance is enabled and has successfully started.

• uninitialized – This state is the initial state for all services before their configuration has been read.
