Regarding point one, an external script seems like the best idea rather
than Henrik maintaining Solaris specific functions in the hobbit client
(unless his to do list is looking a bit thin ;-) )

However I disagree with your second point - if the "svcs" column indicates
service status on Windows, why can't it indicate services on Solaris too?
You're hardly likely to run both Sun and Windows services on the same
(virtual) host, and it keeps the column numbers down on pages that might
show both types of server.
