- sneak 15y agoI do believe Apple's launchd also implements this sort of functionality. IMHO it is better than xinetd. It's open source and POSIX, so you can use it even if you aren't on a Mac. It's pretty cool, from a design standpoint. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd

See for example http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/instances.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/instances.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-September/003399.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-Sep...
