Actually, if svcs output would be more  informative in this regard (enabled
vs. running), people would have a less "bloated" feeling. It is not easy to
figure out if a service is running or not, even if  it's enabled.

Rather than artificially limiting that (which seems dubious, if you

Absolutelly  agree here.

This has been brought up on smf-discuss a number of times, but I'm
