Unless, of course, the service is controlled by xinetd, in which case:

A) It doesn't matter, one bit, what runlevel it is, as long as xinetd.d is
active in that runlevel, and

B) using the above command does, indeed, cause xinetd to restart or reload
its configurations...whichever it may be.

I beg your pardon? Doesn't either method cause xinetd to reload its
configuration?

Answer...yes, because if you restart the daemon, it *IS* going to reload
its configuration.

Next time, you might actually take the time to try out the suggestion
you're trying to trash, before you go telling someone that they're wrong.
