[Bug 1246245] Re: proftpd service failed to restart

[Benpro]

Well, last commit is: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-proftpd
/proftpd-dfsg.git;a=blobdiff;f=debian/proftpd-
basic.init;h=01a303a3cb0dcb06abc80f9cafdef70e4ff71ff3;hp=4d5b015588cf03c2966bff1a9984a7667580c797;hb=23c5e44b3c30a082a0e15279961c3c4c3d7393fd;hpb=1673a543ffb5665b4bb5786c9e60edae4c07cc1e

So patch is adding "--retry $SIGNAL/30/KILL/60" to start-stop-daemon
command line.

Sorry for double post.

Title:
  proftpd service failed to restart

Status in “proftpd-dfsg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  proftpd-basic 1.3.5~rc3-2 from Ubuntu 13.10
  proftpd-basic 1.3.5~rc3-2.1ubuntu2 from Ubuntu 14.04

  Init script from proftpd-basic package contains the BUG: when you run
  /etc/init.d/proftpd restart it fails because of there is the race
  between pidfile removal and start() which checks pidfile existency:

  the next workaround helps:
