My co-worker the AIX admin says change the word 'respawn' to 'off' in inittab. This will prevent the system from recreating the devices when the machine reboots & runs hardware detection.
HTH. From: Cameron [mailto:cameron.orl...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 11:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Unix pains Good afternoon all! I know there are a few *nix gurus out there, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a faxing program that is trying to allocate resources to physical faxes but it causes a segmentation fault. I've tried deleting the two lines in the /etc/inittab file that are causing me the grief and that will actually allow me to re-enable the two faxes but when the box is restarted...bam...they are back! (I've also tried commenting them out with the same results) Version AIX 5.3 The lines are (within /etc/inittab) tty3:2:respawn: /usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty3 tty4:2:respawn: /usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty4 How do I stop them from reappearing? TIA!
