I’ll toss in an unpopular opinion here. I have used stunnel since day one. I had over the years problems with it not answering or the parent process dying altogether and other issues. I finally decided to run it from inetd rather than as a service. It is logical that this is a little slower but with modern machines I don’t notice it. inetd always is running. Always. If it is not you pretty much cannot use the machine. It has been a service program forever and is dead reliable. What you get is total reliability for an unnoticeable loss of speed. I suppose a heavily loaded machine running at capacity might not like this – my answer is throw hardware at it. I need reliable more than anything else. I’d at least try it!
Um. Did you read the original message in this thread? How exactly could inetd possibly help with the monitoring problem?
