Hello,

On a Solaris 8 server, init has recently started
taking up 50% of the cpu, here's the top output:

   PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME
   CPU COMMAND
  2295 root 1 0 0 2440K 224K cpu/0 873:47
49.98% init

there are 2 init proc's running, the one shown above
is the second one. the parent one, while trussing,
shows this:

pause() (sleeping...)
    Received signal #18, SIGCLD, in pause() [caught]
      siginfo: SIGCLD CLD_EXITED pid=2339
status=0x0000
pause() Err#4
EINTR
waitid(P_ALL, 0, 0xFFBEF2E8, WEXITED|WNOHANG|WNOWAIT)
= 0
wait() = 2339
[0x0000]
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, 0xFFBEF210, 0x00000000) = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, 0xFFBEF210, 0x00000000) = 0
waitid(P_ALL, 0, 0xFFBEF2E8, WEXITED|WNOHANG|WNOWAIT)
= 0
setcontext(0xFFBEF428)
pause() (sleeping...)

while the second one (the one taking up cpu) seems to
be hung. (related to console hanging as well?).

not sure what to do, can i issue a kill cmd to the
second init process which seems to have hanged? or can
i restart the main init process?

comments, questions, suggestions appreciated.

thanks !
