Linux ftpshut command details how to use the Linux ftpshut command

This command allows the system administrator to shut down the FTP server at the specified time and sends a warning message to the user before it is disabled. If the closing time is set to "none", the server is immediately shut down. If "+ 30" is used, the server will be shut down after 30 minutes. Similarly, if the "1130" format is used, the server is disabled at every day. The time format is in the 24-hour format. After the FTP server is shut down, a file named shutmsg will be generated in the/etc directory. After deleting the file, you can start the FTP server function again.
