I have a Fedora Core 3 server running proftpd, and for some reason the ftp server sometimes causes issues and won't allow me to FTP in, it will just hang there.<br />
<br />
How can I restart the service manually from the shell so I don't have to reboot the entire machine remotely? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also, is there an easy way to check to see why the service is causing itself to hang? &nbsp;Sometimes my FTP client will throw an error &quot;IO Error: Read timed out&quot;<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

ProftpD issues

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
