Respawn failsafe in init

[beretta42]

A botched inittab respawn line bogs the system down to 0. Is there room in init to squeeze a "respawning too fast" failsafe? Or can we pass a -s on init's commandline?

You should be able to boot with "hdb1 s" or similar

I don't think a respawning too fast would be that hard and it's probably worth the space. In fact I'm still leaning to making init bigger by sneaking lpd and cron into it

Just don't rename it systemd 8)
