Confirmed on Maverick, could not check Lucid. Some details: 1. it seems it is 'exit 0' that causes fast respawning: after I corrected the '!egrep' syntax, I still got the fast respawn (now check_standalone_mode returns 0, and the 'or' clause is executed).
2. with both lines changed as suggested, a 'sudo start vsftpd' now gives: cer...@xango2:/etc/init$ sudo start vsftpd vsftpd stop/pre-start, process 8508 cer...@xango2:/etc/init$ initctl list | grep vsftpd vsftpd stop/waiting cer...@xango2:/etc/init$ ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: vsftpd (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: vsftpd (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed -- vsftpd started even if not in standalone mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/648202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
