I want to start a service via xinetd but it does not work. That means immediately after starting the service it is stopped again:

Sep 23 19:16:39 sektor xinetd[556]: START: service pid=559 from=xx.xx.xx.xx
Sep 23 19:16:39 sektor xinetd[556]: EXIT: service status=1 pid=559 duration=0(sec)

Is there any way to get error messages from the service to track down the problem?

I found something for x11vnc that says to use -o /path/to/separate/logfile, but I would like to know if this works with every (x)inetd-able service or if it even is a flag of xinetd itself.

Take a look into /var/log/messages or into the service specific logfile (found in /var/log too, if it exist).

Which service do you try to start?
