Disable services in Solaris 10

To disable a service, you must be root or have sudo privileges.

For example, to disable the Puppet service, you would run the following command:

svcadm disable network/cswpuppetd:default

This will disable the Puppet service and prevent it from running.

To verify that the service has been disabled, you can run the following command:

svcs | grep puppet

This will list all of the services that are currently running, and if the Puppet service is disabled, it will not be listed.

How To Get The Current Epoch Time (Unix Timestamp)

  • Perl:
time
  • PHP:
time()
  • Ruby:
Time.now # (or Time.new). To display the epoch: Time.now.to_i
  • Python:
import time # first, then int(time.time())
  • Java:
long epoch = System.currentTimeMillis()/1000;
  • Microsoft .NET C#:
epoch = (DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().Ticks - 621355968000000000) / 10000000;
  • VBScript/ASP:
DateDiff("s", "01/01/1970 00:00:00", Now())
  • Erlang:
calendar:datetime_to_gregorian_seconds(calendar:now_to_universal_time( now()))-719528*24*3600. # OR element(1, now()) * 10000 + element(2, now()).
  • MySQL:
SELECT unix_timestamp(now())
  • PostgreSQL:
SELECT extract(epoch FROM now());
  • Oracle PL/SQL:
SELECT (SYSDATE - TO_DATE('01-01-1970 00:00:00', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')) * 24 * 60 * 60 FROM DUAL
  • SQL Server:
SELECT DATEDIFF(s, '1970-01-01 00:00:00', GETUTCDATE())
  • JavaScript:
Math.round(new Date().getTime()/1000.0) // getTime() returns time in milliseconds.
  • Unix/Linux Shell:
date +%s
  • PowerShell:
Get-Date -UFormat "%s" # Produces: 1279152364.63599
  • Actionscript:
(new Date()).time
  • Other OS’s Command line:
perl -e "print time" # (If Perl is installed on your system)
  • ColdFusion (CFML) MX 6.1+:
#int( getTickCount() / 1000 )#
  • Bash Command Line:
date +%s
