Description Curtis Hacker 2013-10-01 23:58:51 UTC

It doesn't really have a reliable way to purge without going to user prompt. It is very simple to add.


extra_stopped_commands="purge"

purge() {
        ebegin "Purging hosts.deny"
        start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/denyhosts.py --pidfile /var/run/denyhosts.pid -- --purge
        eend $?
}
