I don't have an answer for #2 but for #1, if Linux is like HP-UX UNIX, look
in /etc/inittab; look for entries that are set to respawn. I don't know what
your background is in UNIX, mine is good but not great. The inittab entry
for getty: respawn is why a process you kill automatically restarts.
Also look in /etc/inetd.conf for respawn configs.
