The only thing not commented out is
sane-port stream tcp nowait saned /usr/sbin/scanbm scanbm
The scanbd installer package must have put it there.
I'm thinking inetd is the thing that is watching and tells scanbm to
wake up.
Exactly: that's inetd's job (well, it used to be, until
systemd "reinvented" it).
