Thank you for your reply.
I tried it as you instructed.
I received below output when running "service fail2ban start"root 29217
1 49 15:52 ? 00:00:07 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/fail2ban-server -s
/var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock -p /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.pid -b
root 29456 7728 0 15:52 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto fail2ban
A few minutes later, it dropped out and produced the below message (after
checking the status of fail2ban) ERROR Unable to contact server. Is it running?
* fail2ban is not running but /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock exists
Next, I tried what you recommended by starting it in the foreground:
$ /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -f &
and at this time, it was running. Then, run $ /usr/bin/fail2ban-client reload.
fail2ban stopped running after a few minutes - same problem still.
One thing I noticed it (v0.9.1) different from v0.9.9 is that I received more
than 10 banned IPs coming into my inbox per seconds. But with v0.9.0, I
received about 5 banned IPs notifications per day in my inbox.
Thank you very much

Is it running? (ps -ef | grep fail2ban ?)
If it is not, and nothing is printed to the console, system logs,
fail2ban log, try starting it in the foreground by running
`fail2ban-server -f &` and then `fail2ban-client reload` (assuming it
started)
