I've changed to kernel server, that works. I am from FC where installation of packages are different to Debian.

Thank you Owen.

Do you need help?

Install splashy. No kernel patching necessary.

Do you need more help?

Hi,

I've just installed tftp and tftpd package by apt-get. But, I could not see the tftp server running. Actually, I could not figure out where is the tftp script. In FC6, the tftp script is in xinit.d. In Debian, there is not xinit.d.

Can't find what you're looking for?

How can I check whether the tftp server is running or not? And, if not, which command I can call to run the tftp server?

Thank you.

Jim

Don't know where to look next?

probably you should avoid inet.d and just start the service directly.

in debian services are started with an init script stored in /etc/init.d/ and linked to various runlevels in /etc/rc[S123456].d/

to start the service use either

/etc/init.d/<Service name> start=20

invoke-rc.d <Service name> start

to check the status of a service, look at ps -e (grepping as appropriate) or check=20

Confused? Frustrated?

invoke-rc.d <Service name> status

(or /etc/init.d/<Service name>)

personally, i like the /etc/init.d/ route as you get tab completion of a service name, if you happen to not remember it exactly.

Many services won't actually start unless they are enabled in /etc/default/<service name>, so if you start a service and it doesn't seem to work, check there.

I don't think Debian uses xinetd by default. It puts everything in the inetd.conf file. You can manually move the entries over to an xinetd file.

Indeed, the tftp is in inetd.conf file. But, how can I run/restart/stop tftp server? Also, how can I check whether the tftp server is running or not? I checked ps and grep with in.tftpd, but could not find it. Thank you Jeff. Jim

Anything running from inetd is not running all of the time. Processes that start from inetd only start when a connection from the outside hits that port. There is no daemon program running when run form inetd. I am not sure if tftpd is a daemon type server. Jeff

I looked at the files listing in packages.debian.org for the tftpd program. It does not install anything in /etc/init.d. I am not sure if that program can run as a daemon. Jeff

I've checked in /etc/init.d, there is no tftp, nor tftpd. I did installed by "apt-get install tftp" and "apt-get install tftpd". Where are those scripts? Or did I installed wrong tftp packages?

That is the same way in FC where service script can be start/stop/restart. But, I could not find tftp or tftpd scripts.

I've tried "/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d tftpd status" with following error: invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/tftpd not found. Thank you. Jim

I always use http://packages.debian.org when researching packages. But, that is just my preference.
