Execute "telinit q" while programs are running ?

Hi,

I want to make changes to inittab file and reread it using "telinit q" to make changes effective immediately. Is it safe to do that while important apps are running ?

thanks
Vilius

Hi,

look at the inittab. Processes with action 'off' will be killed after executing telinit -q
