At some point you may want to stop and start some services.

For example some kind soul started the Telnet service on one of Production servers and left it running - a big security no-no!!

To list all services:
svcs

To list the Telnet service:
svcs -l telnet

fmri         svc:/network/telnet:default

To disable the telnet service:
svcadm disable telnet

To enable the telnet service:
svcadm -v enable -r telnet
