    Hi All,

    Why does this work:

           #/usr/sbin/faxgetty -D ttyS1

    but, placing this in my /etc/inittab does not?

           m0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1

    I have run "init q" several times to no avail.
    Can anyone see a typo I am missing?

    # ps ax | grep -i faxget | grep -v grep
    <nothing>

    After invoking from the command line, I get
    # ps ax | grep -i faxget | grep -v grep
       9827 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/faxgetty -D ttyS1

    What am I missing?

    Many thanks,
    -T

Thank you.  I missed that.  Now to figure out how to use /etc/init.
