The command svcadm clear ${service_name}
is used in the Solaris and Oracle Solaris operating systems to clear the service state of a particular service.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
svcadm
: This command is the primary interface for managing services in Solaris and Oracle Solaris. It allows you to perform various operations on system services. -
clear
: This is the subcommand ofsvcadm
used to clear the service state. -
${service_name}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the service you want to clear. You need to replace${service_name}
with the actual name of the service you want to operate on.
When you run svcadm clear ${service_name}
, it instructs Solaris or Oracle Solaris to clear the current service state for the specified service. This usually means stopping, restarting, or resetting the service to a clean state, depending on the specific behavior defined for the service.
