And appearing to probably any man-page, it's "kill [-signal] pid".
The first example you gave should work, if it doesn't, try a normal
reboot instead (for lack of better solution ;-). This should also
restart inetd. :)
In the second example, you send SIGTERMs to pids 1 and 120, and with
pid 1 being init, you get it to shut down the system.
