svcs: Show location of service log file.
$ svcs -L apache
try on your machine

The command "svcs -L apache" is used to check the status of the "apache" service in a Solaris operating system.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "svcs" is the command used to query the status of services in Solaris. It stands for "service status".
  • "-L" is an option that is used to display a long output format. It provides detailed information about the specified service.
  • "apache" is the name of the service you want to check the status for. In this case, it is referring to the Apache web server.

When you execute this command, it will display detailed information about the current status of the Apache service, including whether it is running or not, any errors or issues encountered, and other relevant details.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
