Solaris Express 5/06: The Java Web Console service
is managed through the Service Management Facility (SMF). You can start, stop,
enable, and disable the console service by using SMF commands, or by using
the smcwebserver script. The FMRI used in SMF for the console
is system/webconsole:console.
How to Start the Console Service
This procedure starts the server temporarily. If the server was disabled from starting when the system bootst, it will continue to be disabled. If the server was enabled, it will continue to be enabled.
Starting with the Solaris
Express 5/06 release, the running enabled state
displays as true (temporary), if the server is running
while disabled.
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services .
Start the server now, without changing the enabled state.
# smcwebserver start
How to Enable the Console Service to Run at System Start
This procedure enables the console service to run each time the system starts. The console is not started in the current session.
Starting with the Solaris
Express 7/06 release this procedure sets the general/enabled property to true in SMF, so that the server is started at the time
the system boots.
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services .
Enable the server to be started at system boot.
# smcwebserver enable
Solaris Express 5/06: Alternatively, if you want to both start the server now, and enable the server to start when the system boots, use the command:
# svcadm enable system/webconsole:console
If you are running the Solaris Express 5/06 or the Solaris Express 6/06 release, you cannot disable the console, by using the smcwebserver command. You must use the svcadm command.
How to Stop the Console Service
This procedure stops the server temporarily. If the server is disabled from starting when the system boots, it will continue to be disabled. If the server was enabled, it will continue to be enabled.
