SUMMARY: solaris 6 inittab question

2007-12-24 23:35:00

I heard from a few folks quick quickly. I still haven't completely
figured out what the problem was, but I eliminated the "su" to another
user and just had the script run as root and now it works beautifully
via inittab. I can kill it, and within 2 seconds another instance is
running.

Thanks for the insight and suggestions.

Subject: solaris 6 inittab question

I have setup an /etc/inittab to respawn a process if/when it dies. It
seems to work fine. I can kill the process and eventually it does
restart. However, it is taking 10 minutes for it to restart. I don't
see any evidence (via 'ps -ef |grep processname') of it even attempting
to start sooner.

I would have thought a respawn entry in inittab would have started back
up within seconds. Is there some system tunable that determines how
fast/often init does its thing with inittab?

If I do an 'init q' then it tries to restart the process immediately,
but if I kill the process and just wait, it is taking 10 minutes.

My inittab entry looks like this:

wf:3:respawn:/etc/init.d/wfa

Thanks for any advine,

Gene Matthews
