java process does not respawn

Hi,
I am working on Solaris 8 on sunblade 150 machine.I have a java code jar file which I have configured in inittab to respawn.When I kill the process as per the respawn property the new process id gets generated.If I keep killing the process after 4-5 tries the process does not respawn.Sometimes if I rebuild the inittab it starts otherwise only solution is to reboot the system.Is there any log if inittab is executing it or not.How can I check any kernel level error.
Please help me.

Thanks,
Girish
