I agree with Alex and if you 'cat /sw/var/run/denyhosts-py25.pid' you will obtain the process id of the running instance and can then kill the process (sudo kill -TERM PID --where PID is the process id) so that you can restart it manually. FWIW, I think fink's denyhosts puts its log in /sw/var/log/denyhosts or somewhere very close to that; the log should give the loaded configuration, PID, DH's recommended kill command, and a lot of other goodies. Sounds like you're making good progress! --rtw ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
