xinetd reload via systemctl impossible: another systemd shortness or what?

[Franta Hanzlík]

"systemctl reload xinetd.service" return message:

Failed to issue method call: Job type reload is not applicable for unit
xinetd.service.

It is on Fedora 16 i386, fully actualised.
Command "kill -HUP XINETD_PID" is working flawlessly.
It is some known systemd problem?

one more badly written systemd-unit missing
ExecReload=/usr/bin/killall -s SIGHUP xinetd

please file a bug report
a woraround would be:

* systemctl disable xinetd.service
* cp /lib/systemd/system/xinetd.service /etc/systemd/system/xinetd.service
* chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/xinetd.service
* edit the unit file and add the line
* systemctl enable xinetd.service

This bug [1] has recently been fixed and the update [2] for it is
currently pending a push to the stable updates repository.

You can either wait ~24 hours for it to go stable and update, or grab
it from updates-testing right now:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update xinetd
