Q. I am running Fedora Linux version 4.0 server. Couple of services run under xinetd. Now how do I verify that service is turned on in xinetd?
A. You can use command line tool called chkconfig or text based GUI tool called ntsysv. For example see if service foo:
# chkconfig --list foo
Output:
foo off
As you see service foo is off, to turn on type command:
# chkconfig foo on
# chkconfig --list foo
Output:
foo on
It is recommended that you use ntsysv, which is graphical tool and works on remote ssh session.
