Command is respawning too rapidly
check for possible errors

ps -ef yields
id Se1a "/etc/getty -t60 tty1a 3"

anyway to silence this or fix it ?
kill just makes it come back.
it is tying up resources.

It supposedly is set in INITTAB
some entries are as follows:

Se1a:234:off:/etc/getty tty1a m
Se1A:234:off:/etc/getty -t60 tty1A 3
Se2a:234:off:/etc/getty tty2a m
Se2A:234:off:/etc/getty -t60 tty2A 3
http::sysinit:/etc/scohttp start
agn0::sysinit:/usr/lib/doctor/bin/agent -d -b -I -L -T /usr/spool/doctor/log/age
nt.log >/dev/console
agn1:4:wait:/etc/rc4 1> /dev/console 2>&1 Se1a:234:off:/etc/getty tty1a m
Se1A:234:respawn:/etc/getty -t60 tty1A 3
Se2a:234:off:/etc/getty tty2a m
Se2A:234:off:/etc/getty -t60 tty2A 3

any help would be appreciated

You could change the respawn to once (to start the process at system boot only) or to off to prevent respawning entirely.

Alternatively, you could just comment the entry out.
