micro_inetd(1)		     General Commands Manual		  micro_inetd(1)

NAME
     micro_inetd - simple network service spawner

SYNOPSIS
     micro_inetd port program [args ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Like  inetd,  this  program  listens  on  the net for requests and spawns a
     server to handle them.  However, it only handles one port and one	program.
     The intended use is when you have a server that expects to be run by inetd,
     but  you  only  want  to  run  it temporarily and don't want to bother with
     putting it into /etc/services and	/etc/inetd.conf  and  restarting  inetd.
     Instead, just start up micro_inetd, and when you're done just ^C it.

     Other limitations:

     *	  Full	inetd  lets you specify the socket type as one of stream, dgram,
	  raw, rdm, or seqpacket;  micro_inetd only implements stream.

     *	  Full inetd lets you specify wait or nowait;  micro_inetd  only  imple-
	  ments nowait.

     *	  Full	inetd lets you specify a user-id to run the server as; micro_in-
	  etd doesn't try to switch user-ids.
