I have started experiencing a rather frustrating problem recently, well within the past month or so anyway. It has taken a more irritating turn in the past few days. I usually logout of my various consoles each evening before leaving the office. I have noticed that recently sometimes one or so of the consoles doesn't complete the logout process and I start getting the message:
INIT: Id "8" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes It is not always console eight but once it happens I have not found a way to clear the condition short of rebooting. I have not filed a bug report because I'm not sure who's bug this is exactly bash, init or base-files. I checked the bugs for base-files but it says there are none pending. Someone suggested it may only happen on consoles I have background tasks running on but I can't tell for sure because in any given day I may start many many background tasks and daemons. So which consoles I started them on after the fact is difficult to say. There are no references to the misbehaving tty in a ps aux listing. If anyone has any ideas about what to check or how to clear the situation it would be very useful. I can't imagine I'm the only person seeing this behaviour. I am running sid which gets dist-upgraded every few days. I am running kernel 2.4.24 but was seeing the same behaviour under 2.4.20 which I upgraded from yesterday. A dpkg -l listing of bash and base-files is: ii base-files 3.0.12 Debian base system miscellaneous files ii bash 2.05b-12 The GNU Bourne Again SHell Kirk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
