| Is there a way to restart init without rebooting and killing my uptime? |

Hey,
Are you looking for something like ??
This would execute another Kernel without going through the firmware-reboot sequence (as in startup a new kernel without executing BIOS and bootloader stage).

| I don't need to boot another kernel. Just want to reinitialize the init process with all the rc scripts from scratch. |

| telinit u seems to be the appropriate choice but nothing much happens. If I first go to single user mode with telinit s and then restart with telinit 3 it seems to do what I want although it doesn't kill every user process in single user mode. Can someone confirm this is the correct method? |

To do this on gentoo I use You'll get the "Give root password for maintenance or hit ctrl-D to continue", if you continue you'll go back to runlevel 3, if you give the password you'll get a shell and ps should show you no processes running (except init and your shell, of course).
EDIT: I take it that what you want to do is fully restart the system, rather than just restarting the init process per se? telinit u will re-exec init but it's not something you'd usually need to do. |
