We are having a problem with a couple of screens not refreshing (D3/Linux
7.2 and Viaduct terminal emulation), and the problem appears to be in the
inetd.conf file in linux. In the past (D3/Linux 7.1) if we modified
inetd.conf, we then found the process ID by typing ps -aux to find the inetd
process and then typing kill -HUP ID. However sometime ago the process quit
showing up when we typed ps -aux (I think it may have happened when we
upgraded to 7.2.
As is probably obvious, I don't have a good understanding of Linux. If
anyone can solve my problem or point me in the right direction, I would be
very grateful.
Thanks.

To find the answer to your problem, we need to know the following:

1) What changes were made to the inetd.conf file?
2) What terminal emulation are you using?
3) What error messages have you seen in the errors file with regard to the
inetd daemon?
4) Are there error messages when booting the system with regard to the inetd
daemon?
5) Be more specific about "Screens not refreshing..."
6) Are there any other problems with the system (may be related even though
you might not think so.)

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that the inetd.conf file was replaced in
our Red Hat upgrade by a directory xinetd.conf which contains a file for
each port or terminal.
The Daemon is called xinetd stayalive (or something like that) but it also
turns out that my problem was with the terminal definition file for the
affected ports.
Sorry for the false alarm but thanks for the reply
