thanks,

I am currently in Australia but I have imported it from the US.
I bought it at Amazon for 549$.
It works here in Australia with Virgin Mobile on 3G and it should do the same with T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint (no AT&T) in the US but I am not completely sure about Verizon and Sprint.

I will try to use pgrep -x for the kill command as well but I am not sure what will happen if there is someone connected and because of this there are multiple processes of proftpd running.

Do you already have plans on how you can properly implement this? Tip: You can record the PID from $! to a file whenever you execute proftpd.

Maybe I should use this script instead for init.d

Code:

  #!/bin/sh

  # ProFTPD files
  FTPD_BIN=/opt/sbin/proftpd
  FTPD_CONF=/opt/etc/proftpd.conf
  PIDFILE=/var/run/proftpd.pid

  # If PIDFILE exists, does it point to a proftpd process?

  if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
   pid=`cat $PIDFILE`
  fi

  if [ ! -x $FTPD_BIN ]; then
    echo "$0: $FTPD_BIN: cannot execute"
    exit 1
  fi

  case $1 in

    start)
      if [ -n "$pid" ]; then
        echo "$0: proftpd [PID $pid] already running"
        exit
      fi

      if [ -r $FTPD_CONF ]; then
        echo "Starting proftpd..."

        $FTPD_BIN -c $FTPD_CONF
	 ps -ef | pgrep -x proftpd | awk 'NR>1{exit};1' > $PIDFILE

      else
        echo "$0: cannot start proftpd -- $FTPD_CONF missing"
      fi
      ;;

    stop)
      if [ -n "$pid" ]; then
        echo "Stopping proftpd..."
	 rm $PIDFILE
        kill -TERM $pid

      else
        echo "$0: proftpd not running"
        exit 1
      fi
      ;;

    restart)
      if [ -n "$pid" ]; then
        echo "Rehashing proftpd configuration"
        kill -HUP $pid

      else
        echo "$0: proftpd not running"
        exit 1
      fi
      ;;

    *)
      echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
      exit 1
      ;;

  esac

  exit 0

Looks better and should work in Busybox. Will try it at home. Thanks all for your support!
