Don't know the answer to yr question. But I'm also not sure if you're |
| 24 |
asking the right question. |
| 25 |
When I last saw "respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes", it was |
| 26 |
actually an issue with the spawned process not being able to start. I'm |
| 27 |
therefore suggesting you'd want to consider checking why agetty cannot |
| 28 |
run, rather than working around init's behavior. |
