Oops, that doesn't work. ps -opid= -C vsftpd h | sed 's/ //g' | tail -n 1 > /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid
Actually works. I changed my /etc/init.d/vsftpd to: <start> #!/bin/sh # /etc/init.d/vsftpd # # Written by Sander Smeenk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> set -e # Exit if vsftpd.conf doesn't have listen=yes or listen_ipv6=yes # (mandatory for standalone operation) if [ -f /etc/vsftpd.conf ] && ! egrep -iq "^ *listen(_ipv6)? *= *yes" /etc/vsftpd.conf; then exit 0 fi DAEMON=/usr/sbin/vsftpd NAME=vsftpd test -x $DAEMON || exit 0 fixpid() { ps -opid= -C vsftpd h | sed 's/ //g' | tail -n 1 > /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid } case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting FTP server: $NAME" start-stop-daemon --start --background -m --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid --exec $DAEMON fixpid echo "." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping FTP server: $NAME" start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid --oknodo --exec $DAEMON echo "." ;; restart) echo -n "Restarting FTP server: $NAME" start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid --oknodo --exec $DAEMON start-stop-daemon --start --background -m --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid --exec $DAEMON fixpid echo "." ;; reload|force-reload) echo "Reloading $NAME configuration files" start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid --signal 1 --exec $DAEMON fixpid echo "." ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop|restart|reload}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 <end> And that seems to be working fine for me. (I made fixpid a function in case I find a better command later). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
