It appears that you don't understand what xinetd is/does.

Personally, I run vsftpd, which does not use xinetd at all. In fact,
I've removed xinetd from most of my servers.

I think I understand run levels. Why then was FTP started under
/etc/xinetd.d/ and to keep it from running I had the remove the startup
script from /etc/xinetd.d/ ?
Wouldn't that make any service launched by /etc/xinetd.d/ as standalone?
So if I wanted I could start FTP by associating it with a run level.
What is the difference. In other words why would it make a difference?

Run levels indicate how the service should auto start. If you want
it to always listen no mater how you boot the machine (into which
run level) the you add it to all run levels. If you want to think of
it like this lower run levels are like safe mode in windows.

I thought there was two way to launch a service or process. 1)
init.d associated with a run level or 2) s service that is
always listening.
If I am wrong please point that out to me.
Thanks!

I am afraid I don't understand?
Do you mean you have a service script but you want to be
able to use the service command?

If I use chkconfig to register a service then that
service is associated with a run level. What if I do
not want the service to be associated with a run level,
but to be stand alone?

use chkconfig to register /etc/init.d as services
chkconfig --list
chkconfig --level [run levels] [service] [on/off]
ie. chkconfig --level 345 httpd on

More questions so I can make sure I understand
what I did and why. Thank you for your help!
All services are standalone processes, that are
started via start up code found in /etc/xinetd.d/
To add a standalone process put it's start up
code in /etc/xinetd.d/
To remove a process from running at start-up or
to stop it all together remove it's start-up
code from /etc/xinetd.d/
Then restart xinetd : /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
(if installed)
Other commands
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Stop xinetd: /etc/init.d/xinetd stop (if installed)
Start xinetd /etc/init.d/xinetd start (if installed)
Verify that xinetd is running :
/etc/init.d/xinetd status (if installed)
See what services are running : /sbin/service
--status-all
To check Apache, which is running as a service,
issue : /sbin/service httpd status
Services are stand alone and run no matter what
run level the system is on?
What if xinetd is not installed? Such is the
case on my Fedora box.
Thanks!
