Name
       miscd - miscellaneous services daemon

Syntax
       /etc/miscd

Description
       The  daemon  is	the  service  daemon for some utility internet services.  It is started by when it receives a packet or a connection on an
       appropriate socket.  Once invoked, determines the type of request and the protocol and then attempts to service it.

       When performing services for datagram functions, the daemon will stay active  until  approximately  two	minutes  pass  without	a  service
       request.  It will then terminate until reinvoked by

       Invocations of serving for connection-based sockets will terminate when the connection is broken.

Restrictions
       The  daemon  supports  only  a subset of the internet utility functions.  The supported services are echo, discard, systat, daytime, quote,
       chargen, and time.
