[RESOLVED] I don't have /etc/rc.d

Title explains it.
I have Arch x86_64, kernel 4.10.13-1, everything runs fine.

I want to install swat which requires xinetd which requires starting the daemon:

/etc/rc.d/xinetd start

but doing so:

tushar@tusharpc ~ $ sudo /etc/rc.d/xinetd start
sudo: /etc/rc.d/xinetd: command not found

tushar@tusharpc ~ $ ls /etc | grep rc.d

gives no output.

This is my /etc :

Re: [RESOLVED] I don't have /etc/rc.d

xinetd ships with a service file.

I tried

systemctl [enable and start] xinetd

but it won't run.

Also,

tushar@tusharpc ~ $ which rc.d
rc.d not found

Re: [RESOLVED] I don't have /etc/rc.d

How did you install archlinux and where did you get the /etc/rc.d idea from?
"won't run" is not an error message, what's the output of "pacman -Qi xorg-xinit"?

Did you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit ?

Re: [RESOLVED] I don't have /etc/rc.d

swat was removed from samba about 3½ years ago, what are you doing and which "installation guide" are you following?
