acsss Start-up and Shut-down Macro

ACSLS software consists of multiple services that are operated with a simple command, acsss. The acsss macro enables you to start, stop, and check status of the multiple services as a single entity. Common operations with the acsss macro include:

acsss enable to start ACSLS.
acsss disable to stop ACSLS.
acsss status to check the status of the various services.

Once enabled, the various services are controlled and monitored by the Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF), or the Linux init service utility. These respective system utilities handle automatic restart operations after a system boot.
