I want xinetd to execute a shell script when a connection is received on a certain port. To accomplish this, followed this tutorial: [enter link description here][1]
Unfortunately, the whole thing doesn't work as I hoped that's why I am going to show you my configuration.
The script that is called by xinetd is located at /usr/local/bin. It can be executed without any problems:
#!/bin/bash
echo "connection received"
/etc/xinetd.d/testservice has this content:
service testservice
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
port = 5900
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/local/bin/testservice
user = root
instances = UNLIMITED
wait = no
log_type = SYSLOG daemon debug
}
In /etc/services I added this line:
testservice 5900/tcp
Then I restarted xinetd with service xinetd restart
Finally, I tried to connect to the client:
nc host1 5900
Could someone please tell me what went wrong here?

Maybe this is also helpful:

service testservice
{
port = 5900

server_args = test
}
You're right, I couldn't get yours to work. The above seemed to.
Make sure that testscript.sh is set +x and at the top contains #!/bin/sh (in your example it does appear that way)
It works perfectly fine for me trying on localhost. Can you do a
tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep xinetd
while restarting the xinetd service? Also try running nc on the same host where you have xinetd and see if it works on localhost.
