Previously, starting a site whose xinetd was still running aborted with:

Starting xinetd...still running with pid 12345! Aborting!

The init script exited with a failure, so omd start and omd restart reported an error for the whole site, although nothing was actually wrong.

The xinetd init script now behaves like the other site services: it reports already running. and exits successfully.
