I can confirm this bug. I just ran into it on a production machine. The bugfix is documented in this thread and here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23666697/proftpd-killed-signal-15 -error-how-to-fix-logrotate-restart-error
It's killing FTP-Servers since 2013. And it's a one-line fix. If I had write access, I would patch it myself. It would be totally awesome if anyone could fix it soon. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
