... or you could skip all that and just do 

# killall -HUP inetd

The 'killall' command takes the name of any program you want to zap
... but of course it kills all (all running instances of the named
program), so if you only want to kill one instance, you
have to use 'kill.' 

Maybe there's a good reason for not using 'killall.' Not being an
experienced sysadmin, I don't know what that might be.
