NAME

       ftprestart - restart previously shutdown FTP Servers

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       Use the ftprestart command to restart an FTP Server previously shut down by means of ftpshut(1M). The ftprestart command reads the shutdown
       capability from the ftpaccess(4) file to determine the path of the shutdown message files. It then reenables the FTP Server by removing any
       shutdown message files in the anonymous and virtual FTP Server area, as well as the system wide shutdown message file.

OPTIONS

       The ftprestart command supports the following options:

       -V	Display program copyright and version information, then terminate.

       ftprestart: /etc/ftpd/shutdown.msg removed.

EXIT STATUS

       0	Successful completion.
