[NTLUG:Discuss] Weird INIT behavior.

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

Is your inittab set to start up Xwindows at boot?  What is your runlevel?  Then
look at "respawn" entries in there and see if they are running.

Subject:  [NTLUG:Discuss] Weird INIT behavior.



Anyone have and idea as to what is causing this to happen:

Sometimes when I exit out of X-Win, I notice that things seem to be
moving a little slower than they should.  I run TOP and it shows the
INIT process to be hogging processor time (95%-99%).  I've let it run
like this for hours once, so I know that it's not a temporary thing.
I've tried several things, but nothing short of a reboot seems to fix
it.  The system is stable, and everything seems to run just fine, just
slower.

I've upgraded X-Win a couple of times since I initially installed Linux,
and I've recompiled the kernel more times than I care to count.  I cat
tell you if this problem existed from the start, or if it's something
caused by the upgrades.  This problem appears to be completely random,
although it occurs more frequently when X-Win crashes (swtich from
console to X mouse problem).

Anyone have a clue?

Stephen
