am having solaris 10, and i would like to know if the NTP service is running when the OS staritng?on the other hand how can i make it start at the boot up?note the ntp is managed by the SMF in solaris 10.

thanks a lot

Code:

# svcs -a | grep ntp

should show you the status. for more detailed information, you can use,

Code:

# svcs -l svc://network/ntp

to enable it, i.e. make it start at boot time, provided you have done the proper configurations,

Code:

# svcadm enable svc://network/ntp

HTH

so as the service is enabled, it will start automatically as the system is rebooted right?
