We had the same "runonce" problem

[John_Worachek]

We had the same problem as this post: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/solaris-111-sfha-603-svcsystemvrtsperl-runoncedefault.... 

I also understand the technical procedure to disable/delete the service.   I also searched for the "runonce" script/executable but didn't find anything...

My question is how do we confirm that whatever needed to "runonce" actually ran and succeeded or if nothing really needed to run? and this really is just residue

here is the log output I have:

svc:/system/VRTSperl-runonce:default (?)
 State: maintenance since March  6, 2013 12:14:28 PM CST

   See: http://support.oracle.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS

Impact: This service is not running.

Hi

Just to give you some background

www.symantec.com/docs/TECH203162

The service issue was introduced in 6.0.3 and only occurs on Solaris 11 SARC. The cause is that the runonce script was not packaged. This is not be an issue because the purpose of the script (remove a library) is achieved by IPS as part of the upgrade.
