xinetd-2.3.14-alt3 It would be convenient if "service xinetd status" output which services are active, i.e., "service xinetd status" could do smth like: rm /var/run/xinetd.dump; kill -USR1 $pid_of_xinetd && cat /var/run/xinetd.dump There are already some /etc/init.d/* scripts with verbose output from the "status" command, for example, "service iptables status".
