ftp service

[Jade Bulante]

Is there a command to stop and restart the ftp service (HPUX 11.00)?

Jade,

kill, if it is running.


Then to modify options change the file /etc/inetd.conf, then issue:

inetd -c

The ftpd is started by inetd daemon from the config file /etc/inetd.conf. So to restart ftpd, you got to restart inetd.

# /usr/sbin/inetd -k
===> kill it
# /usr/sbin/inetd -l
===> start it (with logging enabled)

Hi Jade:

The ftp services are started by inetd daemon. You can try these things:
#inetd -c (restarts the deamon)

Or start/stop the daemon
# /sbin/init.d/inetd stop
# /sbin/init.d/inetd start

/sbin/init.d/inetd stop
/sbin/init.d/inetd start

Hi Jade,

A copy of ftpd is spawned by inetd to handle client requests. When the session is closed, ftpd for that session dies.

Stopping and restarting inetd will not kill an ftpd process that is already running. Neither will using inetd -c (to re-read inetd's configuration file). Stopping inetd does however keep any new ftp sessions from being started.

If you need to stop an ftpd process, you'll have to kill it.

If you want to disable ftp service, comment out (or remove) ftpd from /etc/inetd.conf and run inetd -c.

Hi Jade,

first modify the "/etc/inetd.conf" (if neccessary) and issue the "inetd -c", then "kill" the "ftpd":
kill -15 $(UNIX95=x ps -C ftpd -o pid="")

Earlier I said:
Stopping inetd does however keep any new ftp sessions from being started.

I had intended to say:
Stopping inetd does however keep any new ftp sessions from being started (as well as all other services under inetd's control such as telnet, rlogin, etc).

Don??t worry !

Just do the next:

# ps -ef | grep inetd
root 1201 1 0 Apr 22 ? 9:58 /usr/sbin/inetd
root 19029 16773 1 13:57:03 pts/0 0:00 grep inetd


kill the daemon:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -k

restart the daemon:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -l

check if the daemon is up again:

# ps -ef | grep inetd
root 1201 1 0 Apr 22 ? 9:58 /usr/sbin/inetd
root 19029 16773 1 13:57:03 pts/0 0:00 grep inetd

That??s all ! . Remember that this daemon is the Internet Services Daemon and enable the services of (rcp,remsh,ftp, rlogin and telnet).

Best Regards !
