That is a pretty old guide. Newer version of fail2ban will do this for you - so it depends what version you are running.

I used this as a guide for my own deploy, but found it immensely helpful

    Hi,

    Thank you to everyone who supports fail2ban, we run it on some of
    our cPanel servers and it has made a huge difference in combating
    all sorts of annoying exploits and DoS's.

    We have some jails running against:

    /home/*/access-logs/*

    This works great, but when a new account is added, which adds a
    new log file fail2ban doesn't automatically pick this up.

    I would like to run something every day that has fail2ban re check
    all the files in /home/*/access-logs/*, but I don't want to lose
    the existing iptables bans.

    Should I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/fail2ban restart? Will that wipe out
    the current bans though? Is there a better way to do this?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!
