xinetd

[Michael A. Peters]

/sbin/chkconfig --list

That will list all services, what levels they run in, and what inetd
services are configured to run.

xinetd based services:
        fam:    off
[root@mylfsbox root]#

As you can see - xinetd services are listed at the bottom.
Unfortunately - it seems that chkconfig can not currently turn off/on
xinetd services - but you can at least get a list of all that are
configured to run, which makes it easier to turn them off.

You can use chkconfig to disable sysV style startup scripts.

/sbin/chkconfig --del kudzu

will turn off kudzu (so you don't take so long to boot)

/sbin/chkconfig --add kudzu

will turn it on (if its off)
