and if i try to controle this on the console by hand

# invoke-rc.d proftpd restart
 * Stopping ftp server proftpd [ OK ]
 * Starting ftp server proftpd [ OK ]

but

# ps fax | grep proftpd
26186 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto proftpd

and in the log only "SHUTDOWN"

and if i try it with "/etc/init.d/proftpd restart" it work properly. so i change the logrotate.d/proftpd-basic script and i see what happent tomorrow...
