7.5: Why won't my entry in the inittab file work correctly?

    A#7.5:	There are two common sources of problems.  The first is due
to improper syntax in the inittab file.  See the inittab(5) and
initd(8) manual pages for the correct syntax.

The second common problem is not due to the inittab file, but
rather because the command you are trying to invoke is being
invoked incorrectly.  The way to check if this is the case is
to run the command interactively and see what diagnostic messages
appear.  You should also check the system log files for messages
(see syslogd(8)).
