== Restarts ==
If you change a jail, or otherwise want to restart fail2ban, you can try the SystemD service manager: <code>systemctl reload fail2ban</code>. But, strangely that reports an error on freephile (because it's already running) and a <code>systemctl status fail2ban</code> says that it's FAILED. Even <code>systemctl list-units</code> says it's failed. However, <code>ps axjf</code> shows it running and <code>/usr/bin/fail2ban-client ping</code> gets a 'pong' from the server. It looks like there are two installations (/usr/bin and /bin) but they both report the same thing (and the files are identical)
