Jan, The telinit q command has the inittab run again. Whether your process
will be brought back into a running state
kind of depends on what you have on the line in the inittab... here is a
sample line of the entry that starts our TSM server plus
allows me to initialize the server without rebooting the box. The key to
this is that I have placed the initialization into the
"b" argument for initializing processes plus the "2" (init 2) for start
ups. Thus if I want to restart the TSM server I type:
telinit b.

autosrvr:b2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmserv

Hope that answers your question.

Subject:  Problem with dsmcad in inittab


We're having a problem with client software or with Aix box client is
loaded on.
I set an inittab entry to start the dsmcad process and it does not work.
I am refreshing the inittab so that it see's the new entry (telinit q)
:once: does not work, :wait: does not work.
We know it is not a matter of the box not seeing its' inittab - fearing
this,  I set it to :respawn: and boy, did it respawn!
