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  pro-
       gram.   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  im-
	    plements nowait.

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