xinetd
xinetd [options]
TCP/IP command. The extended Internet services daemon. xinetd
saves system resources by listening to multiple sockets on the
behalf of other server programs, invoking necessary programs as
requests are made for their services. Beyond this, xinetd provides
better logging facilities, including remote user ID, access times, and
server-specific information. It also provides access-control facili-
ties. Not limited to system administration use, it can launch
services that are not listed in /etc/services. Unprivileged users can
use this tool to start their own servers.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
