SYNOPSIS
       fail2ban-server [OPTIONS]


DESCRIPTION
       Fail2Ban  v0.9.3  reads  log  file  that  contains  password failure report and bans the corresponding IP
       addresses using firewall rules.

       behaviour is to start the server in background.

       -s <FILE>
              socket path

       -p <FILE>
              pidfile path

       -x     force execution of the server (remove socket file)

       -h, --help
              display this help message

       -V, --version
              print the version
