When i add the command to the inittab ls:5:respawn:/home/listserv/go bg >/dev/console 2>&1 I get an error that it is respawning to fast and will wait 5 min. This keeps happening. I am running RH 7.0. It does start fine from the command line and runs fine. Any ideas? The other question is I am receiving an email with following text. What do i need to do to fix it? <DIST2> Server number 975 could not be found in the peers' table. Its recipients will be handled directly by [log in to unmask], but the peers' tables should be updated to correct the problem.
