STIME stands for “State Time”, the time when the service entered that state. It is precise to the sub-second, although only the second is printed. “svcs -a” lists services in the order that they finished starting. STIME is not authoritative, svcadm(1M) refresh will update it. To find out when a service was started, you have to look at the log.
