Topic: How to restart proftpd

[Mike]

Is there a way to restart proftpd without rebooting the server? I can't restart it from the command line, because it thinks it's starting in standalone mode, which it isn't.

Thanks

Proftpd is restarted anew whenever anyone connects, since it's started from xinetd. So there's nothing to do.

Cool! Thanks Charlie! That was something I hadn't considered.
