service proftpd restart ok service proftpd reload ok logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/proftpd-basic ok Can anyone else try this as well? ** Patch added: "with changes taken from /etc/init.d/proftpd in 16.04" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/proftpd-dfsg/+bug/1246245/+attachment/4701440/+files/proftpd.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246245 Title: proftpd service fails to restart (including via logrotate) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/proftpd-dfsg/+bug/1246245/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
