hi everyone!

I've a problem as you can read in the subject: the init command is
respawning too rapidly.
My server is an old HP9000 R390, and I've just installed HP/UX 11.i Mission
Critical OE. It was not an upgrade, everything on the disks was destroyed.
At the first boot I started to see that error, but due to my small
experience, i dont know how to solve the problem.

If some one will help me I' will be realy happy, because everytime I try to
run some "swinstall" command, in the midle of the choosing process jump out
that
"INIT: command is respawning too rapidly" and the export on my video becomes
a mess and it is not possible go on with my work.


Thanks in advance,


Mauro

An entry in /etc/inittab with "respawn" action is terminating
repeatedly.

  $ grep respawn /etc/inittab |grep -v -e ^# -e console

Check ps output for one that is missing.

Change the inittab action from "respawn" to "off" (or comment out the
entry), then "init q".
