Try "service xinetd restart" from the command line.

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 :-)
