On one of our server inetd service has stuck in transition state , tried restarting it but it does not do any thing and there is no associated inetd process for the same , how can i start it .. w/o rebooting it
svcs inetd
STATE STIME FMRI
online* 16:44:55 svc:/network/inetd:default
ps -ef | grep inetd
mgarg 8210 4011 0 16:18:47 pts/4 0:00 grep inetd
You can try disabling then re-enabling the service. Just don't do it remotely or you may not be able to get back on.
But first you might want to check the inetd service logs.
already tried that i does not do anything .. the commands
svcadm disable /network/inetd & svcadm enable /network/inetd complete but does not do anything .. and the svc logs do not change at all .. its just stuck
Nothing at all gets written to /var/svc/log/network-inetd:default.log?
What happens if you enter this as root:
/usr/lib/inet/inetd start
