Xinetd - what it controls
I have been playing with qmail (from plesk control panel) and some others .. some of them requires me to restart this service..
what does this service actually do? |
Google for "what is xinetd" is a good place to start.
Basically, xinetd is a "wrapper" of sorts for daemons. It allows you to control daemons through a centralized facility, rather than separate /etc/init.d scripts. This is over simplified, but Google will help with the details. PS - "qmail" from plesk is not qmail, despite what Plesk tells you. They ship binaries that are obviously derived from qmail, but it is *not* qmail. It is also illegal b/c it violates the qmail license. |

I went to find a bit more on xinetd... here's what i got Quote:

Did you get tired of searching... http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/xinetd8.html or http://www.ms.washington.edu/Docs/Li...rs-xinetd.html or http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rh...pwrappers.html |
