initab, process not starting.




Starting the dsmc process (via inittab) does not work.

# lsitab adsm

adsm:2:respawn:/usr/bin/dsmc sched -quiet > /dev/null 2>&1 # ADSM scheduler

# init -q

# ps -ef | grep dsm

#

I tried changing the run levels to "0123456"

I tried removing it and re-adding it but it will not start via inittab.

This process works fine running from the command line.

Does anyone have any ideas why this process will not start?





Also, this may be related, but i am not sure,

when doing an who -r on <server>, it returns with nothing, i.e a blank line.



Thanks in advance to anyone that has any ideas.
