Command is respawning too rapidly

  • Follow


I had a problem with a disk on my HP9000 E35 running HP-UX, to the
effect that it can not read BLK 473104. I had a suggestion to press
control d, which I did. Unfortunately, it now says the following:

INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly
Will try again in 5 minutes.
Check for possible errors
id: a0 */usr/lbin/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 -h ttyd0p7 ....
/var: file system full.

It seems to be repeating this command time and again. Can someone
please help. I need to stop this and log into root.

Regards,

Kenyi

  Try to boot into single-user mode (press a key when the 'bootROM'
tells you can, tell it to boot to ISL/IPL, then do "ISL> hpux -is" (see
the FAQ for this group if you have problems with this)).

  In single-user mode do "mount -a" to (try to) mount /usr.

  Then use vi to edit /etc/inittab. Change the "respawn" in the relevant
line, i.e. the one with "uugetty", to "off".

  Reboot ('reboot').

during startup if you hit <ctrl> and <\> then <enter> it will usually 
stop rc, depending on which rc script is running, YMMV
