If you are asking, what do you do when you need to make inetd reread /etc/inetd.conf because you have made changes then you send a kill -1 to inetd's PID or simply do an "inetd -c" which is HP-UX's nice way of doing the same thing. If you are asking how to restart inetd after it has died then "/sbin/init.d/inetd start". It's a rather good idea to have a cron job that periodically checks to make sure that inetd is running and if not to restart it.

To restart inetd daemon,do

#inetd -c

hi manuales,

man inetd would have given you the required information and lot more.

-c Reconfigure the Internet daemon; in other words, 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.

kind regards

Hi Manuales,
when u do some changes with the inetd daemon config files run "inetd -c" ...this will tell inetd to reread the config files.

/sbin/init.d/inetd start --to start inetd.

#inetd -c
