fail2ban and logrotate

[eruditas]

Hello. I have a problem. fail2ban restarts every night @ 3:10 and all bans are cleared at this time. Is there any solution for this? I tried to use search but all i could find is this. But its not clear to me, coz lines in my /etc/init.d/fail2ban differs from ones in the link.

Thanks for you arnswers.

I don't feel this is actually worth a new topic as its along the same lines, however why does fail2ban restart every night at 3:10?

I would like to know when it starts and stops but i dont want it restarting every night unless its for good reason. I get multiple emails each night saying it stopped then the same amount saying it started, is there a way to turn off its auto-restart/reload thing, it never used to do this a year or so ago.

The most common cause of early morning restarts is that a logrotate script is trying to move the other program to a new log file. I do not know if this applies to fail2ban, but it is easy to check.

Thanks, i'll look into that, logrotate could be the cause, i dont recall when i installed it on this server but it wasn't during the base install, could well of been around the same time and i never linked the two.
