I installed vsftpd and was in the process of configuring it. When I sent the vsftpd server stop command:
sudo service vsftpd stop
I received:
stop: Unknown instance
So I went ahead and uninstalled it and rebooted the system
sudo apt-get remove --purge vsftpd
when I 'stop' vsftpd now it says:
vsftpd: unrecognized service
If I try 'uninstalling' vsftpd its says:
Package vsftpd is not installed, so not removed
Issue: But I can still connect to my server using FTP client
I cannot somehow believe there is a zombie? process that is not getting killed even after reboot. Can someone please throw light on this?
System Configuration: Ubuntu 12.04.1 Server LTS as Guest VM on Windows 7 Host VM
Please let me know in case you require any additional information
