	Service management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Service Management is the management of service producing industries (in contrast to manufacturing and agricultural industries).
		The term Service Management is most widely used as the component of Operations Support Systems responsible for service delivery, such as order management, inventory management, provisioning and activation, network topology management and maintenance, and stability/performance diagnostics of communication service providers and their networks.
		A service management system automates manual operations of the network, delivery services, and support, making these areas more efficient and error-free.

	Sun Microsystems - BigAdmin: Solaris Service Management Facility - Quickstart Guide
		These traditional services were usually individual applications that executed as a single process that started at boot time and executed continuously while a system was up and running, servicing any requests that were received.
		These services may not run at exactly the same point in boot as they had before the advent of SMF, but they are guaranteed to not run any earlier -- so any services which they had implicitly depended on will still be available.
		Services that are started by traditional rc scripts (referred to as legacy services) will generally continue to work as they always have.
