init q will rescan the /etc/inittab file for changes. Never kill init, it spawns all of your processes. To make init go into different run levels use the telinit "level" command. For instance, to go into single user mode you would issue telinit s

Hoep this helps,

Also, look at the man page for init for complete information

You can make a test, please
#vi /etc/inittab (add line like) ttya:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` ttya login:" -T sun -d /dev/term/a -l 9600 -m ldterm,ttycompat
:wq!
#init q
#ps -ef|grep ttya
You can see ttya process.
#vi/etc/inittab
delete ttya this line then save /etc/inittab.
#ps -ef|grep ttya
You can't see any ttya process.

Hope usefully to you

We can't kill init process. For reload inittab use init q (or telinit q).
