Does your /etc/init.d/xinetd not have the following?
reload)
echo -n "Reloading internet superserver configuration: xinetd"
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 10 --quiet --oknodo --exec
/usr/sbin/xinetd
echo "."
;;
force-reload)
echo -n "Forcefully reloading internet superserver configuration:
xinetd"
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 12 --quiet --oknodo --exec
/usr/sbin/xinetd
echo "."
;;
You shouldn't have to modify it at all; just use
/etc/init.d/xinetd reload
That always worked for me. That way you can also use restart to actually
do a restart if you need to (for whatever reason) but use reload in the
more general case of reloading the conf file.
good times,
