Package: xinetd Version: 1:2.3.14-7.1+deb7u1 In debian 7, xinetd init script does not contain status option this is mandatory for saltstack for example, it fails to get status of service
for a fix init script should be updated with following lines: status) status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON $NAME && exit 0 || exit $? ;;
