sharedprint process will not remain dead

I'm trying to unmount a filesystem (/opt), but I cannot unmount the thing
because the sharedprint process will not remain stopped. I can kill the process
but another is immediately kicked off. Cannot locate any info. on stopping the
daemons/process permanently, What am I missing?

Thanks,
Erik

Re: sharedprint process will not remain dead

If the daemon keeps respawning, then it may be in the /etc/inittab. If it is,
then change "respawn" to "off", save it, and then run the command "init q" to
reread the inittab file. Then when you kill it, it won't respawn.

Don't forget to change it back when you're done.

If all else fails, boot into single-user mode and it won't even be mounted.
