When running vsftpd with xinetd. How do I see the processes??


I do a ps -ef | grep vsftp

Nothing shows up...


Thanks.

You won't see any vsftpd processes until someone actually connects to your FTP server. Xinetd listens on the FTP port and only fires up the vsftpd server when there's a new connection. The FTP seesion is done, the vsftpd process dies and it disappears from the process list.

If you do a "chkconfig --list | less" then it shows up at the bottom and even tells you if it's on or off. For some strange reason I'll stop xinetd and it still says vsftpd on??

Would somebody elaborate?

Regards

The chkconfig --list command shows if a service will be started or not on system boot. It is not the current running status of the process.
