how to HUP xinetd? 2

[aixmurderer]

Tried kill -HUP <xinetd's process number>, does not do the same for me as kill -HUP <inetd_id> did on the older versions, i.e. re-read the inetd.conf file.

I have resorted to rebooting, but obviously I don't want to do that everytime I change/add someting to the /etc/xinetd.d directory.

I believe it is a sigusr1, but I am not sure.
xinetd does use a funky restart. Read the fine manual;-)

If all else fails:
pidof xinetd | xargs kill -kill && xinetd || echo &quot;Fail&quot;


Good Luck

Hi,

I've also seen USR1 described as the right signal but USR2 certainly works and the redhat script does that - i.e. kill -USR2 nnnn or killall -USR2 xinetd.
