I have a query about the following message:

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

What does this mean??

Basically I have a webserver running FC2, along with Plesk 7.5 for admin. Its a fairly fresh install (about 2 weeks), but almost since the start I have had that error message showing regularly in /var/log/messages

Also, something else I haven't seen before in the logs is:
dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 82.xxx.xxx.xxx port 67

Where the ip given is one I don't recognise whatsoever.

Any ideas guys?

Hi thebnut,

The message "respawning too fast" occurs because a program controled by init is restarting too fast. You can discover which program is by its Id, in your case, "T1". Look in the /etc/inittab file, which is the config file for init. You will find something likeGenerally this file establish control for the serial ports and modems. If the hardware is not properly configured, you will get this message. May be its a configuration to control a modem and you does not have one, or you installed it in another port; then, init starts the program, the program doesn't find the hardware and quits; init restarts it again and this is detected and init disables it for 5 minutes.
If you doesn't have the hardware and wants to get rid of this message, edit the file, changing the word "respawn" to "off", save the file and execute "init q" to reread the inittab file.

Cheers,

Osvaldo.
