Hi Erica,

the "startsrc"/"stopsrc"/"refresh"-mechanism works only for processes controlled by the SRC (System Resource Controller), a sort-of super daemon in AIX. To have a process be controlled by the SRC there are several requirements to be met, here is an article describing it in detail. Being a humble sytems administrator I'm sure you will understand that much better than me. ;-))

http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/aix/aix...nprogc/src.htm

Basically the SRC is started at system boot time (the srcmstr entry in inittab) and controls other daemons (aka "subsystems", consisting of "subservers") by special signals and a unique process management. The SRC relies in its operations on certain ODM entries (see the documentation of "mkssys" and related commands, it can be found in the given link too), which have to be there before a daemon can be controlled by the SRC. This is the reason for the "...is not on file" error.

Still, the inetd is already on file, so you can restart it easily (now that we're hitting my area of half-competence i can become less general) by issuing

refresh -s inetd

to restart the inetd or, to restart the whole group of tcpip daemons,

refresh -g tcpip

Issue a "lssrc -a | grep -v inoperative" to see all the subsystems (left column) running at to which group they belong (middle column). To start/stop one such subsystem issue:

startsrc -s <subsystem>
stopsrc -s <subsystem>

to start/stop whole groups use

startsrc -g <subsysgroup>
stopsrc -g <subsysgroup>

If you have configured your daemon in inetd.conf it should be running now as a refresh of inetd should have started it by now.

Hope this helps.

NAME

       rdate - set system date from a remote host

SYNOPSIS

       rdate hostname

DESCRIPTION

       rdate sets the local date and time from the hostname given as an argument. You must have the authorization solaris.system.date on the local
       system. Typically, rdate is used in a startup script.

       The inetd daemon responds to rdate requests. To enable inetd response, the lines invoking the time command in inetd.conf must not  be  com-
       mented out.

USAGE

       The rdate command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
