Just to clarify/elaborate a bit, you can write a "service" in many
languages  (C, bash, perl, python, php, etc.) and only deal with
stdin|stdout instead of network sockets.  Plus you get all the security
benefits from the xinetd service like tcp wrappers, logging, etc.

There is a decent explanation on wikipedia
