Full Discussion: How to start rstatd Daemon
Operating Systems AIX How to start rstatd Daemon Post 302380489 by zaxxon on Tuesday 15th of December 2009 09:58:35 AM

I guess you misunderstood.

Uncommenting a demon in inetd.conf and refreshing inetd does not automatically start the uncommented demon, in your case rstatd. If a request from some other tool to inetd comes for rstatd, rstatd will be launched.
You usually would not launch it manually from the command line. Either demons are launched via a superdemon like inetd or xinetd or they are launched permanent from command line, inittab etc. but usually not both at once.

For example if you uncomment ftpd in inetd.conf and do a ps -ef for ftp, you'll see nothing. If you connect with a ftp client from another box to the server where ftpd is activated in inetd.conf, it will be visible with ps, when it is actually used.

So you will need some other tool to query rstatd so that inetd launches it and gives you the wanted info from the kernel.
