Quick step to restart the autofs service on Solaris. I’m running Solaris 10.
1. Check the auto service status.
# svcs | grep auto
legacy_run Oct_24 lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S72autoinstall
online 17:31:10 svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default
2. Restart the autofs service
# svcadm -v restart svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default
Action restart set for svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default.
