the answer was, as many suggested, that an rc script had failed to complete.
several days ago a demo installation of WebTrends was done and the installed
/etc/rc2.d script failed to complete.
again i ran init 6 and nothing.
ps -ef | grep rc..............found the webtrends rc script........kill -9
$PID kicked in init 6 immediately.

Subject: init # failed
had to power off a server today because init 6 or init 0 failed to
respond.
ps -ef | grep init returned:
init -
instead of:
init -vr
in addition: shutdown would not work either: /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6
-g0
shutdown would beep and display its' broadcast message, but would not
shutdown.
any ideas why this could have occurred?
