host339384 init: Id "T1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

I see this message repeats every 5 minutes in /var/log/messages.
Anyone knows what that means?
I can provide more details if needed.

Check the file /etc/inittab. You should have an entry like T1:xx:respawn:command. The command is that causing the problem. Also take a look at the inittab man page:

Code:

respawn

        The process will be restarted whenever it terminates (e.g. getty).

and at the init man:

Code:

If init finds that it is continuously respawning an entry more than 10 times in 2 minutes, it

will  assume  that  there is an error in the command string, generate an error message on the

system console, and refuse to respawn this entry until either 5 minutes  has  elapsed  or  it

receives  a  signal.  This  prevents it from eating up system resources when someone makes a

typographical error in the /etc/inittab file or the program for the entry is removed.

Yes i commented T1 line and issued command kill -1 1.
And error gone.Any idea what exactly that command was doing?
