Note the subject change. More specific is generally better.
The issue is not the OS, but inetd, which processes these files:
/etc/init.d/inetd restart
...will do it.
In general, you can force a restart of any particular daemon (service)
in a similar fashion.
You can force *all* services to be stopped and restarted by going to
"maintenance" level. The "shutdown" command does this by default:
$ /sbin/shutdown now
...then follow prompts to return to your default init state. This
*does* stop all processes (other than init) but is faster than going
through a full reboot.
