SuSE Linux: All versions
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutese.g. when you enter a program like mgetty in the file
/etc/inittab
to accept incoming modem calls and the
the system is restarted or several calls are not successful.
This message may also be displayed when, for instance, the login
prompt is cancelled several times in a row e.g. with Ctrl-D
.
/etc/inittab
are terminated very quickly several
consecutive times, the corresponding entry in /etc/inittab
is disabled and can no longer be started. Under normal conditions programs
should be restarted two minutes after being finished, but this
is not the case due to a bug in the program init.
/var/log
or write their syslog messages to /var/log/messages
,
/var/log/news
or /var/log/mail
, search those
files for error messages.
You may also manually start the program in a shell first in order to
examine possible error messages. Do not make any entries in
/etc/inittab
until having done this.
You can explicitely start the deactivated program by executing
init qas
root
in the command line.
Thus, the file /etc/inittab
will be reread and all the
shut down programs will be reactivated.
