Uttered don <don@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, spake thus: > 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. Use the available mechanisms; it's much easier: # service xinetd reload You can watch /var/log/messages if you want. The problem with stop/start, or restart, is that there is a time when xinetd is _not_ running and stuff controlled by it can get dropped or fail to start. Cheers!
