Internet Daemon

Starting and Stopping inetd

On the HP 3000, the instructions for starting the Internet daemon are

contained in the job ﬁle JINETD.NET.SYS. When you stream JINETD, it

invokes the daemon and reads the inetd conﬁguration ﬁle to determine

what services have been conﬁgured, and listens for connection requests

for those services. Any messages relating to inetd are sent either to the

console or to $STDLIST for JINETD, which is a spool ﬁle. The Internet

daemon will continue to run, responding to requests for any of the

conﬁgured services, until you stop it. The Internet daemon only

terminates in an error state if there are no valid services listed in the

conﬁguration ﬁle.

Starting inetd From a Job

To start inetd, you stream the JINETD job. You may do this manually,

by entering the STREAM command when the system is running, or you

may include the STREAM JINETD command in the SYSSTART ﬁle to have

inetd automatically started at system startup.

To start inetd manually:

1. Log onto your system as MANAGER.SYS,NET.

2. Check to make sure that inetd has not already been started by

entering at the CI prompt:

:SHOWJOB JOB=@J

Look for the job logged on as JINETD.NET.SYS and, if it is not listed,

continue with the next step.

3. At the CI prompt, enter STREAM JINETD.NET.SYS.

If you attempt to start inetd when it is already running, you'll see the

following error message and the job will not be started:

An inetd is already running.

Starting JINETD Automatically

If you want to have the Internet daemon started automatically when

your system starts up, add the STREAM JINETD command to the

SYSSTART ﬁle. When you do, be sure that the stream command follows

the network startup command NETCONTROL START.
