Try this:

/usr/sbin/inetd -c

From the inetd man page:

This will reconfigure the Internet daemon if will force the current inetd to reread /etc/inetd.conf.
This option sends the signal SIGHUP to the Internet daemon that is currently running.
Any configuration errors that occur during the
reconfiguration are logged to the syslogd daemon facility.

Hi:

If you make changes to /etc/inetd.conf then you can cause it to be reread by the 'inetd' daemon by doing:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -c

For an HP-UX machine NONE of your answer choices are correct. In HP-UX the '-e' and '-r' are not valid options to the inetd command. If you add a new service to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, you should NOT have to reboot either.

As has been stated previously, you should do an 'inetd -c' to force the inet daemon to re-read its configuration files.
