I would like to see mod_exec[1][2] built as a subpackage (proftpd-exec). Specifically would like to see this for EPEL 4/5, but obviously adding to the other branches would be fine as well. Any concerns? Obviously not wanting to add this to the default package -- definitely should be optional. Happy to prepare a patch and/or commit necessary changes if needed.

I'll build this in the main package as a DSO that needs manually loading if you want this functionality. I don't think there's any need to split off a subpackage for it since it's a small module and adds no extra dependencies. Curious as to why you want it though, given that even the upstream author thinks there are better alternatives and it's unlikely to work with DefaultRoot, which we enable by default.

I wanted to use it for some simple upload notification. An alternative sounds like something worth looking into though. I was wanting to avoid doing something like an xferlog watcher... I'll see what else is out there -- do you have a pointer on upstream suggestions? Didn't stumble across anything in an initial search. Thanks.
Upstream suggests logging to a FIFO and then having something sat on the end of the FIFO executing commands as needed: http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/mod_exec.html#Usage

I think upstream was being a bit coy about this module: it's included in 1.3.3rc1: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/RELEASE_NOTES-1.3.3rc1 Any feedback on the update?

Interesting... I'm still thinking your suggestion of using a FIFO may be the most secure way to go, but in the interim I am able to use this. Thanks much for the quick response!
