Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? > The two processes are normal for 1.8c igonore them. the respawning to rapidly may have to do with a bug in Solaris vis-a-vis inittab although I have not gotten SUN to agree to that. The solution is to remove the command from inittab where you respawn lsv if it dies and to just add a file to /etc/rc3.d called something like: S99listserv and the file should contain: su listserv -c "/export/home/listserv/go bg" just replace the /export/home/ with the path to the listserv directory.
