Enabling services in single-user mode

If you want or need a service started while in single-user mode (boot -s) on a Solaris 10 box, svcadm(1M) is your friend.
svcadm(1M) enables you to temporarily enable a service (svcadm enable -t) , getting you around the smf(5) repository not yet being writable.
if your service requires other services, just tell svcadm(1M) to recursively enable all these services by passing the -r option.
so to sum it all up, use svcadm -rt your_service to temporarily enable your service and all the required services while being in single-user mode.
