OK - things get even stranger. proftpd stopped working on 2.6.32-21-generic as well after a reboot. I checked again and the /var/run/proftpd directory had gone! I manually recreated it and proftpd started up cleanly. However, following a reboot the /var/run/proftpd directory had gone missing ag

OK some thoughts... /var/run/proftpd contains: proftpd.delay proftpd.sock all the time, even after the proftpd service is stopped. On starting the proftpd service another file is created: proftpd.scoreboard On stopping the service: proftpd.scoreboard is removed proftpd.delay is altered in some

After some more digging it looks like /etc/init.d/proftpd actually checks for the existence of /var/run/proftpd and creates it is it doesn't exist. Near the top it has: [code] # /var/run could be on a tmpfs [ ! -d /var/run/proftpd ] && mkdir /var/run/proftpd [/code] I am absolutely cack at shell

That doesn't sound like the exact same issue. Well over 500 restarts here and absolute consistency found, in that either I get runlevel N 2 and all services started fine or I get runlevel unknown and services not started (in my case proftpd and cupsd). No doubt they are similar and most likely

Hi Arnd, Sure - I will give that a try. But how will that be any different to the section in /etc/init.d/proftpd that checks for the existence of /var/run/proftpd and creates it if it is not present? It looks like this: # /var/run could be on a tmpfs [ ! -d /var/run/proftpd ] && mkdir /var/ru

Hi Arnd, It is still relevant to me. On most system restarts (reboot) proftpd will not start up automatically. Very occasionally it does. It is this inconsistent behaviour that is making it hard to identify what the problem is. When it fails to start during bootup, simply using "sudo service p
