Here is a quick piece of advise for the newbies. Please don’t play chicken with inittab.
Inittab is the file that contains all of the daemon processes that need to be restarted if they freeze.
So to list the contents of the file on aix, lsitab is the command to use.
If you are determined to edit the file, just remember the old rule of having a backout mechanism. Normally, I like to make a copy and set it to be read only.
cd /etc
cp inittab inittab.mmddyy
chmod a-w inittab.mmddyy
Then mkitab allows you to make new entries to inittab. (Also comment out old entries for a little while before you permanently remove them)
