Geoff,

Ordinarily, I'd say "man telinit".  Except, of course, AIX has
been continually making the online documentation more and more
of a pain for old-school Unix folks to use.  </gripe>

You're looking for "telinit q".  This tells the init command to
re-examine the /etc/inittab file.  It's standard SysV behavior.
