That's a strong statement. Why? I don't recall hearing of problems running it out of inetd and doing so seems to be fairly common.

The OP's apparent 'problem' is not that he wants to kill child processes hanging out in the process table but rather socket connections that he sees using netstat that the OS is keeping in a TIME_WAIT state. These would be normal except for  'hanging around indefinitely'. Pending further developments from the OP, this would appear to be an OS TCP stack issue since NRPE is not involved in removing those.
