the canonical way to determine whether a service is enabled or not is to
check its "rcvar" status (which also tells you the precise name of the
variable in case it differs wrt to the name of the script):

 enabled:

 > /etc/rc.d/inetd rcvar
 # inetd
 $inetd=3DYES

 disabled:

 > /etc/rc.d/inetd rcvar
 # inetd
 $inetd=3DNO
=20
