INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly.

I have been receiving the following message on the console all the time. Can any one tell you how to fix them? Thanks.

Re: INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly.

I'd say you are trying to use inittab to as a daemon.

Take the /etc/inittab entry out and try running the script as a daemon with a startup templte in /sbin/init.d

Re: INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly.

L.S.

These lines in inittab means that init should execute the program mentioned and check that the program keeps on running.

Program files in /sbin/init.d however usually start a deamon, and end.

So remove the lines from inittab and have the scripts started at the correct runlevel by creating symbolic links in /etc/rc.d like Sevmd (and you may also need stop scripts (Kevmd)). You can start the scripts manually, but for a real test...reboot your system and check whether the deamons are running.

I don't know about /opt/sanmgr/hostagent/sbin/diald. You should try and run it manually and check what is is doing.
