[CentOS] INIT: Id "snmp" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

[David Halik]

Thanks for the reply. I've tried both "init q" and "init u" without any 
luck, the message still appeared five minutes later. Init did post a 
message that it was reloaded, so the command worked, yet the process is 
still complaining about this "snmp" id.

Here's my inittab. It's fairly standard and I don't think any custom 
changes were made.

# inittab       This file describes how the INIT process should set up
#               the system in a certain run-level.

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have 
networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
