Particularly, I want to check Samba services and see if it is running or not in Solaris machine.

For Linux, we can check with below command.

service smb status

smbd (pid  8058) is running...

Unlike on Linux, there's a unified service system on Solaris. It is called SMF. To check if a service is running use the svcs command. svcs -a will give you status of all services configured on the system, including disabled services.

Here's an example where I already know the service name, in this case /network/http:apache22, which is my Apache Web server. Using the -l and -p switches I can get a lot of information about the service, including what dependencies it has (pre-conditions) and what processes IDs it is currently executing under.

$ svcs -lp /network/http:apache22

fmri         svc:/network/http:apache22

name         Apache 2.2 HTTP server

enabled      true

state        online

next_state   none

process      13185 /usr/apache2/2.2/bin/httpd -k start

process      13186 /usr/apache2/2.2/bin/httpd -k start

process      13187 /usr/apache2/2.2/bin/httpd -k start

You can use ps -ef to find the services running or not on a Solaris machine:

$ps -ef |grep smbd
