Ubuntu: add inetd (super-server daemon) to system startup

- Create a startup script for inetd
Copy/etc/init.d/skeletonto/etc/init.d/inetd. Change the top section of the script to read:PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin DESC="Internet Super Daemon" NAME=inetd DAEMON=/usr/sbin/$NAME DAEMON_ARGS="" PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME
Nowinetdcan be stopped/started/restarted like this:sudo /etc/init.d/inetd stop sudo /etc/init.d/inetd start sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart
- Add links to
rc*.d$ sudo update-rc.d inetd defaults Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/inetd ... /etc/rc0.d/K20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd /etc/rc1.d/K20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd /etc/rc6.d/K20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd /etc/rc2.d/S20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd /etc/rc3.d/S20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd /etc/rc4.d/S20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd /etc/rc5.d/S20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd
- If you no longer need to start
inetdat boot up:$ sudo update-rc.d -f inetd remove update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/blah exists during rc.d purge (continuing) Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/blah ... /etc/rc0.d/K20blah /etc/rc1.d/K20blah /etc/rc2.d/S20blah /etc/rc3.d/S20blah /etc/rc4.d/S20blah /etc/rc5.d/S20blah /etc/rc6.d/K20blah
This would remove the links from the start up sequence but leave/etc/init.d/inetdin place.
