Help, help.. I'm a moron and deleted my rc.inetd.conf

xanas3712 · 05-12-2004, 02:26 PM

As title says that's pretty much the problem. I'm going to be stupid and assume it's possible to actually take someone elses version of this file.. I saw in the init routine that eth0 is already brought up.. so apparently this file grabs the ip address or whatever..

Beyond that.. is there a page that gives a lot of good info on these init scripts so that maybe I could know how to write them myself? The reason I deleted that one is I thought it was put there by kde when I was messing with it's system v editor program. That file just looked to be too long of a name to be real.. I'd like to re-write them at some point later so I know what all is running but don't know a place to start.. but for now I'd just like to be using slackware again and not mandrake to post.

Thanks.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Start/stop/restart inetd, the BSD Internet super-daemon.

# Start inetd:
inetd_start() {
  if [ -x /usr/sbin/inetd ]; then
    echo "Starting Internet super-server daemon:  /usr/sbin/inetd"
    /usr/sbin/inetd
  fi
}

# Stop inetd:
inetd_stop() {
  killall inetd
}

# Restart inetd:
inetd_restart() {
  inetd_stop
  sleep 1
  inetd_start
}

case "$1" in
'start')
  inetd_start
  ;;
'stop')
  inetd_stop
  ;;
'restart')
  inetd_restart
  ;;
*)
  echo "usage $0 start|stop|restart"
esac

Thanks.. and I'm sorry for saying this but...... I got the file name wrong.. I'm actually missing rc.inet1.conf (which is required by rc.inet1)..

Sorry for not knowing what the heck I'm talking about.. I tried this and of course noticed that I was off by a char..

I'm lucky,.. very lucky.. someone had this posted on the net and so I downloaded it and now problem resolved

Thanks for the help... man I'm an idiot though..
btw.. I'm still interested in information on these files syntax and such if anyone knows it.. I want to be able to write my own should I ever need/want..
