I need to create a service on Red Hat similar to a Solaris. Please assist.
 

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating client machines from Solaris to Red Hat.

There are a few services I need to transfer across, and I have no idea how to recreate them on Red Hat.

The client used the inetadm command on Solaris to get a specific output;

SCOPE NAME=VALUE
name="example"
endpoint_type="example"
proto="tcp"
isrpc=FALSE
wait=FALSE
exec="/example/eg/ie -avw -i -L"
user="root"
default bind_addr=""
default bind_fail_max=-1
default bind_fail_interval=-1
default max_con_rate=-1
default max_copies=-1
default con_rate_offline=-1
default failrate_cnt=40
default failrate_interval=60
default inherit_env=TRUE
default tcp_trace=FALSE
default tcp_wrappers=TRUE

Can someone please shed some light on how I would create the same service on Red Hat? Obviously without the 'examples'. :)

Thanks for your assistance.

The RHEL equiv to inetd is xinetd.
