Configuration Commands
======================
	svccfg(1M), svcprop(1) and inetadm(1M)

The svccfg command is used for manipulating data in the repository (properties,
snapshots, etc) and uses sub-commands to perform the various actions.  Some
common sub-commands are:

select <FMRI>			Select a service or instance to work on
list				Show the children of a selected service
listprop			List the properties for a given service or 
                                service instance
setprop <property> = <value>	Assign a new value to a given property
delete <FMRI>			Delete a service from the repository.  Avoid 
                                deleting instances unless you really need to as 
                                this can cause problems when reimporting a 
                                manifest
validate <manifest.xml>		Validate a manifest before importing into the 
                                repository.  See also xmllint(1)
import <manifest.xml>		Import a service manifest into the repository
unselect			Navigate to the parent selection, eg: from the 
                                instance back to the service
listsnap			List the snapshots for a given service instance
selectsnap			Select a snapshot at the instance level
revert [<snapshot>]		Revert the service instance to a selected 
                                snapshot

The svcprop command is used to display information about a service from the
repository.  There are various options to this command, for example:

svcprop -p <property> <FMRI>	Show the values for a given property, eg: $ svcprop
-p start smtp:sendmail
svcprop -s <snapshot> <FMRI>	Show the details from a given snapshot

The inetadm command when used with the -m option modifies a property for a given
inetd based service instance.  An example of this is:

# inetadm -m svc:/network/ftp:default exec="/usr/sbin/in.ftpd -a -l"
