This way (using 'chkconfing --list | grep -i on') you can only see which services _should_ be started when the system enters some runlevel. This is not the same as list of services that are _actually_ running at this time. For example, you can have the service marked to be started and it will be shown by the chkconfig marked as 'on', however if you later manually stop it the service will not be running, but will still be reported by chkconfig as 'on'. The similar problem will be present for services which are not marked for automatic startup, but later are stated manually - those services will be running, but will not be shown by ' chkconfing --list | grep -i on'. For services started via xinetd this method is working more reliable because those services are started at each request for them. Actually, the best method to determine, which services are actually running at this time is to use the 'ps' command and look on the list of processes. Also, you can check for presence of files, which are created by the services (usually at /var/run) during service startup and deleted during service shutdown. However, this method may give wrong results in some situations - e.g. when the service process crash and does not delete files which should be deleted on service shutdown. Alexey Fadyushin.
