try on your machine

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 of svcadm 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.
