How can I delay the start of my service using respawn?
I am configuring my service in inittab like this:
vpn:2345:respawn:/etc/init.d/openvpn restart
and I am getting respawn too fast error and the service is disabled for 5 minutes.
how can I make respawn wait some time before trying to restart the service?
I am running a custom distribution of linux for ARM architecture (debian packages for ARM can be installed in this distribution)
linux kernel is : linux-3.10.x
Thanks!

Don't run it frominit, rather install something like DJB'sdaemontools.

The init.d scripts return very quickly. They don't work well in an inittab respawn entry. The regular init system ought to be able to handle what you want. What Linux or Unix distribution and version number are you running?

@JdeBP No, she didn't.

If a service crashes on restart then it is not going to work if you delay its restart. But you can do that by putting a wrapper script in inittab that looks like this:
#! /bin/bash
sleep 60
exec /path/to/service
