problem to restart services from /etc/inittab in AIX6.1

hello,
i have an AIX6.1.7.2 machine that it was upgraded recently from AIX5.3.9.4.
when i kill system services that should restart automatically like /usr/sbin/cron it doesnt start.
i checked my /etc/inittab file and i confirmed that this service is in respawn status so when i kill this process it should automatically start again. i have the same problem with other services located in /etc/inittab also.
if i run the process manually it starts but if i just kill it and wait to restart automatically by /etc/inittab it does nothing.
what might be the cause of it and how i can solve it?

thank you

Opinion on auto-restart of failed apps/services

I'm becoming a dying breed where I work.

NAME
svc - controls services monitored by supervise(8). SYNOPSIS
svc [ -udopchaitkx ] services DESCRIPTION
services consists of any number of arguments, each argument naming a directory used by supervise(8). svc applies all the options to each service in turn. OPTIONS
-u Up. If the service is not running, start it. If the service stops, restart it. -d Down. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal and then a CONT signal. After it stops, do not restart it. -o Once. If the service is not running, start it. Do not restart it if it stops. -p Pause. Send the service a STOP signal. -c Continue. Send the service a CONT signal. -h Hangup. Send the service a HUP signal. -a Alarm. Send the service an ALRM signal. -i Interrupt. Send the service an INT signal. -t Terminate. Send the service a TERM signal. -k Kill. Send the service a KILL signal. -x Exit. supervise(8) will exit as soon as the service is down.
