Well, Duh! I know "RTFM" - but I DID RTFM - several times. I downloaded the
manual, printed it, and have it in my server notebook. I looked at it again
before I sent this message to the group. It's amazing how a person (well,
me) can look at a line in the manual and not see what it's saying.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Larry. I'll stop and re-start the
server with that switch.

Subject: [cochiselinux] Keeping a Background Process Going After Logging Off
|To start the server, I log on as Root and enter the following line:
|/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -a -b -Z &
I don't know this app but I scanned the documentation at
http://www.pureftpd.org/README and I think you should try using a -B switch.
'-B': Have the standalone server start in background (daemonization).
so
/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -a -b -Z -B &
If that doesn't work, only other thing I can think of:=20 is xinetd
involved?
(do you have an entry for pure-ftpd in /etc/xinetd.d/?
If so, what does it look like?)
Did you install as an rpm or compile from source?
If you compiled from source what were the configuration options?
./configure --with-?? --without-??
hth,
lp
p.s.
For some processes where you can't put the "&" at=20 the end of the command
(like an scp or ftp command that requires you to log in first) you can run
the command without the "&", log in (ow whatever)=20 CTRL-Z, bg 1=20 (or
whatever number the job is) and that will allow you to exit and have the
process persist. I've never heard of anyone having to start an ftp server
this way though ...
