# ocf\_heartbeat\_Xinetd(7)

Manages a service of Xinetd

## NAME

ocf\_heartbeat\_Xinetd - Manages a service of Xinetd

## SYNOPSIS

**Xinetd** \[start \| stop \| status \| monitor \| meta-data \| validate-all\]

## DESCRIPTION

Resource script for Xinetd. It starts/stops services managed by xinetd by enabling or disabling them in the configuration file.

The xinetd daemon itself must be running: we are not going to start or stop it ourselves.

All services should have a line saying either "disable=yes" or "disable=no". The script just changes those settings before reloading xinetd.

Important: in case the services managed by the cluster are the only ones enabled, you should specify the -stayalive option for xinetd or it will exit on Heartbeat stop. Alternatively, you may enable some internal service such as echo.

**service**

The name of the service managed by xinetd.
