I'm suffering this same problem, it fails to restart manually or when rotating logs.
I've made a "dirty" solution, modifying /etc/init.d/proftpd, that solves the problem just waiting one second between stopping and starting the process again. Patch is attached. ** Patch added: "/etc/init.d/proftpd sleep" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/proftpd/+bug/1398506/+attachment/4530871/+files/proftpd_init.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398506 Title: logrotate's restart of proftpd fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/proftpd/+bug/1398506/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
