Rick -
Not sure if you can get inttab to be reread without a reboot but if so, you
could change the respawn to once in the runlevel 5 line.
Now for the possible. If the processes are not dependent on X then I would
think that you could remove the K*files that would kill the sevices you are
interested in from /etc/rc.d/rc3.d. I believe that these files are the one
to kill a process when entering a runlevel and the S* would start them. In
fact you can probably mv /etc/rc.d/rc.3 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d.real and do an init 3
and all the same things will be running that were there in rl 5.
This is all controlled by the rc script in /etc/rc.d. At least that is what
it looks like to me.
Test it first on a non production box.
Be interesting to see what the gurus have to say.
