Hi folks,
I have a sophisticated question for which I can't find any hints on the web:
If you configure init (via /etc/inittab) to respawn processes (like the getty processes) when they exit - how often does init check for the existence of such a process? Does it check actively at all or does it rely on some kind of inter process communication?
I am not a programmer, so maybe the second question is completely nonsense. Any hint or help is appreciated.
