    Hi there,
    it happened to me 2 or 3 times now that proftp just shut down at 23:59 without ever coming back up. :( Thankfully there's nagios...

    Code:
    Oct 24 23:59:02 matrix proftpd[4668]: localhost.localdomain - ProFTPD 1.2.10 standalone mode SHUTDOWN
    Regards,
    Marc

    If you run:

    /etc/init.d/proftp restart

    and

    /etc/init.d/proftp stop
    /etc/init.d/proftp start

    does proftpd come up properly again? (The script might be named proftpd on your system).

    Yeah sure it sometimes just takes a moment when doing a restart, maybe I'll troubleshoot that. As I said, nothing too bad here, just 2 or 3 times it didn't work in the last 6 months...

    Code:
    # date; /etc/init.d/proftpd restart; date

.. - setting default address to 127.0.0.1

    You can check the proftpd init script. Sometimes it helps to put something like
    Code:
    sleep 3
    in the restart section (after stop and before start).

    You could also install monit, it willl start a service if it notices it's down: http://www.howtoforge.com/server_monitoring_monit_munin
