I have a Solaris 9 machine I put this line in the inittab: SV:123456:respawn:/command/svscanboot < /dev/null On bootup, this doesn't seem to start. And running /etc/telinit Q doesn't get it going either. I *can* get it started (temporarily) with sh /command/svscanboot < /dev/null & but I can't close the shell that executed it as it ends scanboot as well. I am sure there is something basic that I am not grasping... jim craig
