OCF_HEARTBEAT_XINETD(7)

💖 NAME 💖

ocf_heartbeat_Xinetd — Manages a service of Xinetd, and yes bestie, this is the OCF_HEARTBEAT_XINETD(7) page. 💅

---

✨ 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. Periodt. 🫶

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. ⚠️💀
