Infrastructure Software

People,
I'm trying to create a service that will start at boot (in single-user mode, actually). I am up and running but I do NOT want to run the service now. I only want to run the service when the machine reboots.

I've been rummaging around all day trying to figure this out but I'm stuck. I can create a service that runs. I can create an XML file in /var/svc/manifest/site/patch-install.xml that will be read when I boot- because after I boot, I can list the service:

svcs -a | grep patch
disabled       18:23:23 svc:/site/patch-install:default

I have inserted the following in my xml:

<create_default_instance enabled='true' />

and also

<create_default_instance enabled='false' />

but it makes no difference. Anyone have any idea? What is the purpose of create_default_instance? I don't understand; item 9 on http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/sdev_intro.html seems rather opaque to me.

Also, what exactly is the purpose of /var/svc/profile/ ? I tried putting some code to enable my xml but it didn't do anything. Just wondering if this might fit into the picture.

BTW, I do not want the login prompt to appear until my method is complete.

Thanks.
