Been in training.

I've been sequestered from internet access while at work since yesterday as I'm in a training class. It's not the training I was wanting, but some people are getting a lot out of it. I was expecting Solaris training, not Unix Fundamentals. Granted the information we are getting is great. But I already know the fundamentals. I can get around, change permissions, grep files, sort junk, and what have you.

I was wanting to learn the Solaris specifics of how to do some things like service control. I've managed to disable services but I'm fairly certain I should be doing it another way. For example I'd like to know if Solaris has an equivalent to chkconfig command, and how to use it...

It's not that I'm walking away from the class with out getting anything out of it. I've picked up a couple things. I may or may not use them or remember them when I do need them, but there are often and nearly always more ways than not to get the job done...

i know init is still there but it is diffrent...it will get things done for sure. I use chkconfig in the linuxes that i play with allows me to chose the run levels for the services... it seems there should be tools to do this in solaris rather than mucking about directly with the files...
