hi, rsalunkhe

Looks like some process is starting your inetd daemon. Look at your cron jobs or at jobs. which may be causing this problem.

if you don't find any jobs, try to stop inetd and restart that should clear the problem. If this is a critical production server try to stop and start inetd in a maintenance window, so that you don't impact any users / system processes.

try your luck.

The inetd-process complaining have PID 190.

Looka at the process and see what process the parent
is (PPID).
If it occurs on a regular basis it could be like
kidambi said, something is trying to start a new inetd
but it could also be that inetd dies for some reason and
restarts.

Check /var/adm/messages if you have any termination message
from inetd. otherwise strat it in a terminalwindow and
you will see if anything happens.

Hi,

I ran the command ps -ef| grep 190 and this is wht i got:
     PID  PPID
root   190     1  0   Dec 03 ?      0:07 /usr/sbin/inetd -s
root  1186  1156  0 11:05:45 pts/4  0:00 grep 190
root   991   190  0 13:41:53 ?      0:00 rpc.rstatd
root   405   190  0   Dec 03 ?      0:00 rpc.ttdbserverd

And when i run ps -e i also get another instance of inetd running.

root   188     1  0   Dec 03 ?      0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd -s

I even checked the crontab files to see if inetd is being invoked again but i did not see any such line.

Looking at the ps output i am assuming inetd has already been started by the root (pid=188)and then it is being called again (pid=190).

After that it shows that pid=190 process calls rpc.ttdbserved and rpc.statd.

Now why is inetd being run twice? How do i stop it from being invoked again?

Thank you,
Ranjit

You would reall have to look in your startup scripts and see where inetd is being kicked off.

The first instance is most likely the OS but the second instance could be another app or utility.

My want to put the verbose syntax on your boot up and start looking at what gets started and killed during the cycle.

If it goes by to fast append it to a file so you can read it.

Also check the /var/adm/messages file and see if there is a reference there as well.

good luck

HI,

I tried looking in /var/adm/messages and i have absolutely nothing that gives a hint. The messages file basically contains the same lines that are displayed in the console every 10 minutes perodically!!

As i mentioned before i think i started getting these error messages when i configured dhcp on my solaris machine.

Does that have anything to do with the error msgs??

 

by: prasadklkPosted on 2002-12-12 at 14:06:35ID: 7574979

Try to stop and start /etc/init.d/inetd with -t and -d  options you may get some thing traced by syslog or console.

Hi,

I did a system reboot and saw that i have 2 instances of inetd starting. I do not know how and why.

I tried restarting the inetd process but it gave an error. I then killed all the inetd processes running and then tried to start inetd again but i got the same error as before. The error i got :

inetd: couldn't find ISTATE environment variable. Try -s flag.
Dec 17 15:51:20 unknown inetd[930]: ISTATE not in environment
Dec 17 15:51:20 unknown inetd[930]: ISTATE not in environment

What do i do now? Please help.

Something seems to be really weird here.

The reason for inetd to be started in single mode is
if the Service Access Control processes are not started.
These processes are sac and ttymon:s
Normally you dont have to worry about these portcontrollers
since they are started and monitors serialports and older
printer communications.

I suspect the problem can be coming from the file /etc/inittab where all the processes originally are
started.

It should look like this: ( I have removed the end of each line)

ap::sysinit:/sbin/autopush -f /etc/iu.ap
ap::sysinit:/sbin/soconfig -f /etc/sock2path
fs::sysinit:/sbin/rcS sysinit
is:3:initdefault:
p3:s1234:powerfail:/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i5 -g0
sS:s:wait:/sbin/rcS
s0:0:wait:/sbin/rc0
s1:1:respawn:/sbin/rc1
s2:23:wait:/sbin/rc2            
s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3                    
s5:5:wait:/sbin/rc5      
s6:6:wait:/sbin/rc6        
fw:0:wait:/sbin/uadmin 2 0            
of:5:wait:/sbin/uadmin 2 6              
rb:6:wait:/sbin/uadmin 2 1              
sc:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/sac -t 300
co:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` console login: " -T sun
-d /dev/console -l console -m ldterm,ttcompat

This file is read when the system enters a new runlevel
and the scripts are run according to what runlevel the
system are going to.

At the end of the file the sac and ttymon processes are started.
Make sure you dont have any duplicate lines in this file.

The rc* scripts are run and from them all S* scripts in /etc/rc2.d are started ( if you are booting up )

For some reason two inetd:s are started but the script inetsvc should only be run once.

If you dont find anything suspious, can you do the following:
cd /etc
ls -iogF rcS.d
ls -iogF rc2.d
ls -iogF rc3.d
ls -iogF init.d

and post the results here.

inetd daemon is started from a service /etc/init.d/inetsvc file.
Just check the last entry in that file should be /usr/sbin/inetd -s&
System starts sending these kind of tracing messages If it is changed to inetd -t.

Stop using emacs as a system editor !

In these directories you have edited some startscripts
with emacs ( I guess )

That sucker leaves files with .bak added.

All files starting with S is run, no matter if they are named .bak or not.

Remove the *.bak files and you should be OK.

Oh, and by the way
You shouldnt edit files in /etc/rc*,
these are hardlinks to the actual scripts in
/etc/init.d.

Tips, link S10inetsvc and file inetsvc has the same inodenumber ( ls -i )

So, only edit files in /etc/init.d and here, you can save copies like OLD.inetsvc if you like

Hi Besky,

Thank you!! Your suggestion worked. I did edit 2-3 files and stored them as .bak . On removing those files those errors stopped occuring.
