Xinetd keeps stopping
|
|
| swilliams@cromwells.co.uk 2005-08-10, 7:47 am |
| We are having a very strange problem with xinetd (and dependant
services such as telnet) stopping on a server. Luckily, most times we
can ssh to the server and restart the service but this isn't always the
case.
We are running Red Hat 7.3 with kernel 2.4.24. The server is quite old
(PIII 750MHz, 1 Gb memory) but doesn't seem to have any other problems.
It's main purpose is as one of three servers which run sendmail and
Squid proxy for us. Please email any responses to
swilliams@cromwells.co.uk.
Any ideas, anyone?

Some files in /etc/xinetd.d really screwed up?
Should not xinetd automatically restart? On my RHEL3 system, the line in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd that actually starts the program looks like this:
daemon $prog -stayalive -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid "$EXTRAOPTIONS"
Same on my old RHL9 system.
You may wish to upgrade RHL7.3. It has been discontinued and unsupported for
a year or two already, so it is ancient history by computer standards. RHL8
and RHL9 have both been discontinued for about a year and a half as well.

| That line does exist in the xinetd file:
daemon $prog -stayalive -reuse -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid
"$EXTRAOPTIONS"
....so it's configured to restart if required. But it still needs to be
started manually if it stops.

Something is really wrong.
