Hi Admins,

On a Solaris2.6 machine, we can see that in
the/etc/inittab file :
sy:234:respawn:/home/sybase/scripts/script.sh

I would like to be able to kill this process from a
script file. But because of "respawn" it is not
possible.

My question is, is it possible to kill this process,
with a command or something like that, without
modifying the /etc/inittab file ?
Does someone know the answer ?
Please I need your help.

Regards

Answer:
--------
The quickest solution for me was to rename or remove
the /etc/inittab and to force initd to re-read with
kill -1 1 or init q, as most of you suggested.

Thanks
