this message indicates, that the service (identified through id "mo")
died short after it's start. So the init-process starts it again and
again. Cause this happens to fast, it disables the restarting of the
process.

Having a look at Your inittab in Your first post, I would suggest to
remove the "-D" switch from the line with "faxgetty". This command line
switch instructs the faxgetty to detach from terminal. In this case the
init process looses contact to the process and tries to restart it.

HTH,
