SRC is the default; the BSD-style provider can be selected using `Chef::Provider::Service::AixInit`. + +The SRC service provider will manage services as well as service groups. However, because SRC has no standard mechanism for starting services on system boot, `action :enable` and `action :disable` are not supported for SRC services. You may use the `execute` resource to invoke `mkitab`, for example, to add lines to `/etc/inittab` with the right parameters. |
