Try "service xinetd restart" from the command line. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of don Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 4:12 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: restarting xinetd I added a new "service definition" to /etc/xinetd.d directory and now I want to restart xinetd so the new definition is picked up. How can I tell if xinetd actually restarted? I use su - to get to root, then kill -s SIGHUP <pid> where <pid> is the pid for xinetd as returned by ps -A|grep inet I was expecting some messages like "xinetd shutting down/restarting", but the kill command just ends and I'm back at a command prompt. Then I thought maybe it does it "quietly", but the pid number never changed.... maybe it just re-reades the config file without saying anything... So, then I tried to connect to my new service, and the connection was refused (I have iptables off) ... so that means 1 or a couple of things: - xinetd did not restart as I expected - xinetd restarted but my new config is incorrect Any suggestions as to where I can find more information? I've read "man xinetd" and "man xinetd.conf"... Thanks, Don "newbie" Russell :-) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
