Additionally, proftpd is automatically restarted by logrotate,
effectively shutting down the server.

Title:
  /etc/init.d/proftpd restart doesn't work properly

Status in proftpd-dfsg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04.x with latest updates.
  proftpd-basic 1.3.5~rc3-2.1ubuntu2

  If I do /etc/init.d/proftpd restart first time and then check for the
  process 'ps aux | grep proftpd' I find it is absent. Running next time
  - proftpd process apeared. Running again - proftpd process disappeared
  again. This is because start-stop-daemon doesn't wait untill a process
  actually stopps.

  Here is a fix:
  --- /etc/init.d/proftpd.orig	2013-12-20 22:07:33.000000000 +0400
  +++ /etc/init.d/proftpd	2014-10-31 12:49:56.251787668 +0300
