Server will not reboot.

[Brian Ham]

At init 1 the server starts to reboot but gives tons of messages
/sbin/rc[64] many (like 100) service names : not found.

Any ideas?

[A. Clay Stephenson]

You need to be very clear. Did you issue an "init 1" command explicitly or did you cold boot the box and it is hung in run state 1?

If the former then shutdown and boot the box. If the latter, you can generally issue a Ctrl-\ to kill the particular command that rc is hanging on and allow the boot to continue. You can then examine /etc/rc.log.

The answer was:

Inside the /etc/rc.config.d there was a file named ^?

I was able to find the process id associated to that file and remove it.
