AIX history:
IBM had 2 discrete Power Architecture hardware lines, based on different
Operating Systems:
- OS/400, later i5/OS, more later IBM i
- AIX (on the same hardware it is possible to run Linux as well)
I. 1986-1990 (AS/400 - IBM RT):
In 1986 AIX Version 1 had been introduced for the IBM 6150 RT
workstation, which was based on UNIX.
In 1987 for the other product line: OS/400 (later i5/OS and IBM i), the
platform (hardware) AS/400 had been released.

II. 1990-1999 (RS/6000):
Among other variants, IBM later produced AIX Version 3 (also known as
AIX/6000), for their IBM POWER-based RS/6000 platform. The RS/6000
family replaced the IBM RT computer platform in February 1990, and was
the first computer line to see the use of IBM's POWER and PowerPC
based microprocessors. Since 1990, AIX has served as the primary
operating system for the RS/6000 series.
III. 2000-2004 (eServer pseries):
IBM eServer was a family of computer servers from IBM Corporation.
Announced in the year 2000, it combined the various IBM server brands
(AS/400, RS/6000...) under one brand.
The various sub-brands were at the same time rebranded from:
- IBM AS/400 to IBM eServer iSeries, i for Integrated.
- IBM RS/6000 to IBM eServer pSeries, p for POWER

IV. 2004-2008 (IBM system i and p):
In 2005 announced a new brand, 'IBM System' as an umbrella for all
IBM server and storage brands:
- IBM eServer iSeries became IBM System i
- IBM eServer pSeries became IBM System p
...
V. 2008-2010 (Power Systems):
In April of 2008, IBM officially merged the two lines of servers and
workstations under the same name, Power Systems, with identical
hardware and a choice of operating systems, software and service
contracts.
Power Systems is the name of IBM's unified Power Architecture-based
server line, merging both System i and System p server platforms, and
running either IBM i (formerly i5/OS and OS/400), AIX or Linux operating
systems. Power Systems was announced April 2, 2008.

How can I find out what command is respawning too rapidly and filling up
my wtmp file?
A common situation is that the init process is repeatedly attempting to
start a failing process. The init man page describes what happens when
init finds an entry is being respawned:
If the init command finds that it is continuously running an entry in
the /etc/inittab file (more than five times in 225 seconds), it assumes
that an error in the entry command string exists. It then prints an
error message to the console and logs an error in the system error log.
After the message is sent, the entry does not run for 60 seconds.

the error continues to occur, the command will respawn the entry only
five times every 240 seconds. The init command continues to assume an
error occurred until the command does not respond five times in the
interval, or until it receives a signal from a user. The init command
logs an error for only the first occurrence of the error.
To find out what is being respawned use the steps below.
1. Check the console or console logs
Check on the console to see if init is writing an error message similar to the one
below:
0 Thu Jan 22 10:16:27 EST 2009
INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors.

Or search through the console log using the alog command:
# alog -t console -o | more
2. Check errpt
Next there may be an entry in the errpt output with the label "INIT_RAPID"
like below:

A word on Linux

Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is technically not
considered UNIX.

The first Linux kernel was developed by Linus Trorvalds in 1991.

Linux’s origins are found in the MINX operating system project which was
a minimal Unix like operating system used for educational purposes, etc. It
was released in 1987. Linux actually started because Linus was frustrated
with the licensing of the MINIX operating system.

There are many different distributions of the Linux operating system,
aimed for different things, the two most used in the business computing
world however are: Novell Suse Linux and Red Hat Linux used mostly in
Europe and in the U.S. respectively.
