 174        The following subcommands are used for service development and
 175        temporary administrative manipulation.
 176 
 177        mark [-It] instance_state {FMRI | pattern}...
 178 
 179            If instance_state is "maintenance", then for each service specified
 180            by the operands, svcadm requests that the assigned restarter place
 181            the service in the maintenance state. See svc.startd(1M) and
 182            inetd(1M) for a detailed description of the actions taken for each
 183            restarter.
 184 
 185            If instance_state is "degraded", then for services specified by the
 186            operands in the online state, svcadm requests that the restarters
 187            assigned to the services move them into the degraded state.
 188 
 189            If the -I option is specified, the request is flagged as immediate.
 190 
 191            The -t option is only valid for maintenance requests. When this
 192            option is specified, the request is flagged as temporary, and its
 193            effect will only last until the next reboot.
 194 
 195 
 196        milestone [-d] milestone_FMRI
 197 
 198            If milestone_FMRI is the keyword "none", all services other than
 199            the master restarter, svc:/system/svc/restarter:default, will be
 200            temporarily disabled.
 201 
 202            If milestone_FMRI is the keyword "all", temporary enable and
 203            disable requests for all services will be nullified.
 204 
 205            If milestone_FMRI is one of the following:
 206 
 207              svc:/milestone/single-user:default
 208              svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
 209              svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
 210 
 211 
 212            then temporary enable and disable requests for the indicated
 213            service and all services it depends on (directly or indirectly)

 398 NOTES
 399        The amount of time svcadm will spend waiting for services and their
 400        dependencies to change state is implicitly limited by their method
 401        timeouts.  For example, a service using the default restarter whose
 402        start method hangs will be transitioned to the maintenance state when
 403        its timeout expires.  svcadm will then consider it impossible for this
 404        service to come online without administrator intervention.
 405 
 406 
 407        Attempts to synchronously enable a service which depends (directly or
 408        indirectly) on a file may fail with an exit status indicating that
 409        dependencies are unsatisfied if the caller does not have the privileges
 410        necessary to search the directory containing the file. This limitation
 411        may be removed in a future release.
