OMV 5 - FTP Starting and stopping in circles

Hello,

I just had a look at my FTP logs and saw hundrets of messages that look like this

127.0.1.1. - ProFTPD 1.3.6 (stable) built ... standalone mode Startup
Starting ftp server: proftpd
127.0.1.1 - ProFTPD killed (signal 15)
127.0.1.1 - ProFTPD 1.3.6 standalone mode SHUTDOWN

And then it begins again. All this within maybe 10-15 seconds.

Am I missing something here? It looks like something is killing my FTP deamon but I have no clue what / why this might happen. Any idea where to look?

Thanks,

Tobias Reich

Ah alright, to everyone who has the same issue.

There seems to be a known bug - and a work around for now.

I followed this suggestion here:

And it seems to work for now.

In short:

Edit the service file, to add a retry.

Open: /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"
