How to enable telnet in 10.2
Authored by: eduo on Aug 19, '03 01:02:47PM

You shouldn't nowadays need to worry about PIDs except for some very specific situations. You can always do "killall -HUP inetd" and inetd should restart reloading its configuration files, which would effectively reload the changes and also avoid the possibility of error.

As a side note, killall takes the same arguments are kill, so you can kill a rogue app using the -9 switch if a normal killall doesn't work (I find myself doing killall -9 centericq frequently when using unstable builds). Killall also helpfully tells you when there are no more processes owned by you running (which kill -9 doesn't report).
