Q. Can you tell us the command to restart inetd service under Linux?
A. inetd is a daemon on many Linux and Unix like systems that manages Internet services such as ftp, pop3 and many others.
According to wikipedia:
Often called a super-server, inetd listens on all ports used by internet services such as FTP, POP3, and telnet. When a TCP packet or UDP packet comes in with a particular port number, inetd launches the appropriate server program to handle the connection. For services that are not expected to run with high loads, this method uses memory more efficiently, as the specific servers run only when needed.
Task: Start inetd service
Type the command:
# /etc/init.d/inetd start
Task: Stop inetd service
Type the command:
# /etc/init.d/inetd stop
Task: Restart inetd service
Type the command:
# /etc/init.d/inetd restart
