Not able to start cron service in Solaris 10
Hi,

This is Solaris-10 x86. I am not able to start cron service, configured in FMRI. It is in maintenance and when I clear it, it seems like calling and failing on /etc/init.d/tcs-rtm script. I am not able to figure out, why cron is calling that script, if this failure is because of that. Cron should be independent of any custom script. And from where, I can get rid of this dependency ?

Code:
# svcs -p cron
STATE          STIME    FMRI
maintenance    16:08:03 svc:/system/cron:default
# svcadm clear svc:/system/cron:default
# cd /var/svc/log
# tail -f system-cron:default.log

What happens when you attempt to execute the script from the command line, without cron?

The cron service itself is corrupted. It should not run that script.

For further diagnosis please give output from
Code:
svcs -l cron

Are the other services okay?

Here is output :
Code:
# svcs -l cron
fmri         svc:/system/cron:default
name         TCS RTM function
enabled      true
state        maintenance
next_state   none

logfile      /var/svc/log/system-cron:default.log
restarter    svc:/system/svc/restarter:default

And I see something strange in its configuration
Code:
