Automatically restart inetd
in [Solaris]
|
From: Tom on 9 Mar 2005 15:47 Are there any good techniques for automatically restarting /usr/sbin/inetd? I was playing around trying to add it to /etc/inittab, but without success so far. I saw some old postings about restarting cron too. Has anyone successfully added either of these to /etc/inittab for "respawn"ing them, or used some other technique? Tom

The simplest technique is to update to Solaris 10, where SMF will do that for you by default. Why is it that you need to restart inetd, though? Is something killing it? And should there be a bug filed against the thing that kills it? -- James Carlson, IP Systems Group <james.d.carlson(a)sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.234W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.497N Fax +1 781 442 1677

Can't go to 9 yet. Don't have anything killing it off. We were trying to be a little proactive in trying to protect in case it did. I thought I could respawn via inittab but no success so far. Tom

Since inetd is responsible for processing inittab, that wouldn't work anyway. Since you don't apparently have a problem with this at the moment, I would suggest that your attempts to work around the non-existing problem are more likely to introduce some problem than is leaving it alone. -- Andrew Gabriel
