SUMMARY: solaris 6 inittab question

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,
