Managing the Console Service

Solaris 10 11/06: 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 boots, it will continue to be disabled. If the server was enabled, it will continue to be enabled.

Starting with the Solaris 10 11/06 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 10 11/06 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 10 11/06: 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
```
Note - If you are running the Solaris 10 11/06 release, you cannot enable 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.

Starting with the Solaris 10 11/06 release, the running enabled state displays as false (temporary) if the server is stopped while enabled.

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.
Stop the server now, without changing the enabled state.
```
# smcwebserver stop
```
