How to restart proFTPD on a Fedora server with Plesk

Question

I need to do this through the command line (SSH). Tried:

/etc/init.d/proftpd restart
service ftpd restart
service proftpd restart
/usr/sbin/proftpd restart

They all show unrecognised or invalid option errors.

It runs under xinetd in plesk

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

that should restart it

Will that restart the whole web stack though? I'm slightly nervous about doing that because it hasn't been touched in a couple of yearrs.

ok then, Have a look in /etc/xinet.d/ftp_psa for details on what it is calling

That file doesn't exist, could it have a different name?

if you look in /etc/xinetd.conf, that should show you what directory it is looking in for starting services. One of them should be ftp like.
