How to Stop the Console Service

This procedure stops the server temporarily. If the server is disabled from starting when the system boots, it will continue to be disabled. If the server was enabled, it will continue to be enabled.

Starting with the Solaris 10 11/06 release, the running enabled state displays as false (temporary) if the server is stopped while enabled.

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. Stop the server now, without changing the enabled state.

   # smcwebserver stop
