Randy,
svc executes the flags in the order of appearance. Thus 'svc -hdu' rolls the AOLserver log (when not using multilog), stops the server and restarts it again. The rolled log starts with the message that the server is shutting down followed by the restart.
Where as 'svc -dhu' will stutdown the server, send a SIGHUP which will be missed as the server is down and restart the server. In this case the server restarts but the log won't be rolled.
For the sake of completeness, when using multilog, AOLserver runs in foreground mode and won't write to a log itself. Instead the messages to STDOUT are piped to mutilog who writes it to a different log. Rolling a multilog is done w/ 'svc -a'.
I've ran AOLserver in both configurations. I favor multilog as it garantues that the logs won't exceed a set maximum amount of disk space. With a wrapper script in /etc/init.d both configurations can be controled with 'service <service0> {start|stop|restart|roll|stat}'.
