svccfg: Import/update service configurations from file.
$ svccfg import ${path-to-smf_file-xml}
try on your machine

The command svccfg import ${path-to-smf_file-xml} is used to import a service manifest (smf_file.xml) into the Service Management Facility (SMF) on a Solaris operating system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • svccfg is the command-line tool used to manipulate SMF service configurations.
  • import is the subcommand that tells svccfg to import the specified service manifest XML file into SMF.
  • ${path-to-smf_file-xml} is a placeholder indicating the path to the actual service manifest XML file you want to import. You should replace it with the specific file path on your system.

When the command is executed, the specified service manifest XML file will be read and the service(s) defined in it will be registered in the SMF repository. This allows the SMF to manage the corresponding service(s) according to the defined configuration and dependencies.
