Nice catch, Joe.
Charles,
I would agree about a customer-facing process not generating messages upon
termination. However, the FTP daemon isn't "quite" that bad. Just for
curiosity, I tried to start a second FTPD on my sandbox. It did what it was
supposed to do, started the FTPD1 daemon and shut itself down. The new daemon
shut down immediately too. It didn't say why, but it at least did say it was
shutting down.
S FTPD <<<<< me starting it
$HASP100 FTPD ON STCINRDR
IEF695I START FTPD WITH JOBNAME FTPD IS ASSIGNED TO USER FTPD
, GROUP SPTDFGRP
$HASP373 FTPD STARTED
IEF403I FTPD - STARTED - TIME=16.56.41
IRR812I PROFILE BPXAS*.* (G) IN THE STARTED CLASS WAS USED 722
TO START BPXAS WITH JOBNAME BPXAS.
$HASP100 BPXAS ON STCINRDR
$HASP373 BPXAS STARTED
IEF403I BPXAS - STARTED - TIME=16.56.41
BPXP024I BPXAS INITIATOR STARTED ON BEHALF OF JOB FTPD RUNNING IN ASID
007D
IEF404I FTPD - ENDED - TIME=16.56.41
$HASP395 FTPD ENDED - RC=0000
IEA989I SLIP TRAP ID=X33E MATCHED. JOBNAME=*UNAVAIL, ASID=007D.
EZY2714I FTP server shutdown in progress
EZYFT59I FTP shutdown complete.
Just for giggles, I meandered over into the Unix services syslog.log and found
this (granted I didn't use a different port for the second daemon):
(snipped for brevity)
ftpdÝ1907¨: EZY2700I Using port FTP control (21)
ftpdÝ1907¨: EZY2701I Inactivity time is 300
ftpdÝ1907¨: EZYFT13E bind error : EDC8115I Address already in use.
(errno2=0x744C7247)
ftpdÝ1907¨: EZY2714I FTP server shutdown in progress
ftpdÝ1907¨: EZYFT59I FTP shutdown complete.
So FTPD does indicate what the problem is when it doesn't start up properly.

IMHO, the clue to this is in his printout.
PGM=FTPD,REGION=0M,TIME=NOLIMIT,PARM='POSIX(ON) ALL31(ON)/TRACE PORT 990'
IEF043I Actions taken by SMFLIMxx parmlib policy for FTPSD FTPD
Step MEMLIMIT set to ONOUDONT by policy - SMFLIM00 0002
So, it looks some exit is killing the task because he has REGION=0M.
The SMFLIMxx policy is killing the task (ONOUDONT).
