No GUI in solaris

I have a machiine that i think the previous administrator turned off the GUI on boot. I remember fixing this a year ago on another machine but for the life of me cant remember where. Does anyone know where one would disable the GUI on boot and how to put it back?

look for something like "dtlogin" in:

/etc/rc3.d/S99dtlogin

maybe the script is renamed...

solved

Yes the script was the S99dtlogin (in my case it was missing and i copied it from another system), however it was in /etc/rcd.2/ directory.
