   The init process can watch daemon and respawn died ones on linux with

 A simple exemple will do the trick, basicaly i need this to keep spamd,

What line are you adding to the file /etc/ttys that is not working?

 Init can also be used to keep arbitrary daemons running, automatically
 restarting them if they die.  In this case, the first field in the
 ttys(5) file must not reference the path to a configured device
node and
 will be passed to the daemon as the final argument on its command line.
 This is similar to the facility offered in the ATT System V UNIX
 /etc/inittab.

Best to post this to freebsd-questions.

you are right this is a bsd newby question ;)
here we go :) !
i pray the BSD god for an answer, yet humans are probably the best source of information out there 
so if any mere mortal can help me with my init question it will save some goats from the sacrificial ritual...
