# denyhosts.py --daemon
DenyHosts could not obtain lock (pid: 6864)
[Errno 17] File exists: '/var/run/denyhosts.pid'
So let's try:
# denyhosts.py --daemon --unlock
Invalid command line option detected.
Usage: /usr/bin/denyhosts.py [-f logfile | --file=logfile]
[ -c configfile | --config=configfile] [-i | --ignore]
[-n | --noemail] [--purge] [--migrate] [--daemon] [--sync] [--version]
--file: The name of log file to parse
--ignore: Ignore last processed offset (start processing from
beginning)
--noemail: Do not send an email report
--unlock: if lockfile exists, remove it and run as normal
--migrate: migrate your HOSTS_DENY file so that it is suitable for
--purge
--purge: expire entries older than your PURGE_DENY setting
--daemon: run DenyHosts in daemon mode
--sync: run DenyHosts synchronization mode
--version: Prints the version of DenyHosts and exits
Nice touch; when telling me that an option is invalid it's always nice
to see the full usage information displayed, _complete with
documentation of the option that you're telling me doesn't exist_!
