ProFTPD on Ubuntu is being killed unexpectedly.

Log message:

$ tail /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log.1
...
... ProFTPD killed (signal 15)
... ProFTPD 1.3.5rc3 standalone mode SHUTDOWN

Diagnosis: the time of the message is the same time that cron runs the logrotate command.

Google searches turn up various info about ProFTPD having a glitch on Debian-based systems due to log files, log rotations, and the ProFTPD server not restarting.

I will add a bounty for a solution to this. I’ve posted a workaround answer too, in case it’s helpful for others.

Here’s a workaround solution thanks to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/proftpd-dfsg/+bug

The problem is due to ProFTPD not stopping in time to be restarted.

The workaround is to edit the service file, to add a retry.

/etc/init.d/proftpd

Find this line:

start-stop-daemon --stop --signal $SIGNAL --quiet --pidfile "$PIDFILE"

Change to this:

start-stop-daemon --stop --signal $SIGNAL --retry 1 --quiet --pidfile "$PIDFILE"

This change solved it for me.

Suggestions for improvements are most welcome.

As I read comments in bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/proftpd-dfsg/+bug/1246245, its better to remove sleep 1 to avoid race condition. So it will become:  start-stop-daemon —stop —signal $SIGNAL —retry 1 —quiet —pidfile "$PIDFILE"                     – digz6666 Jul 20 ’14 at 6:06

Thanks, this worked for me!                     – Luke Cousins Mar 1 at 9:36

The problem could also be having a password protected certificate then the service fails when automatically restarted w/o human intervention.
