Inetd
Sign in to saveinetd (internet service daemon) is a super-server daemon on many Unix systems that provides Internet services. For each configured service, it listens for requests from connecting clients. Requests are served by spawning a process which runs the appropriate executable, but simple services such as echo are served by inetd itself. First appearing in 4.3BSD, it is generally located at /usr/sbin/inetd. inetd is based on the (service) activator pattern

Inetd es un demonio presente en la mayoría de sistemas tipo Unix, conocido como el "Super Servidor de Internet", ya que gestiona las conexiones de varios demonios. La ejecución de una única instancia de inetd reduce la carga del sistema, en comparación con lo que significaría ejecutar cada uno de los demonios que gestiona, de forma individual.
