hi,

  refer to my previous answer. there exists a xinetd executable in the /usr/sbin which 
is in the root PATH. you should execute the script located at /etc/rc.d/init.d / which 
is not in the PATH variable. if you enter "xinetd restart" then you are referring to 
the one in sbin. either you enter the fullpath of the xinetd script located at the 
init.d directory or just go there and do "./xinetd restart".

ciao!

   that's strange. I am running LM 8.1 and issued the command as root in
   the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ driectory. typing xinetd by itself gets no
   response. And I believe that xinetd is the default - for without it, ftp
   and other services cannot run...
   
   man xinetd shows that sending the signal SIGUSR2 will cause a hard
   reconfiguration... but how do you do that. I tried kill -SIGUSR2 xinetd
   but it does not work. pls advise. thank you.
