NAME
       Psad - Perl extension for psad (the Port Scan Attack Detector) daemons
SYNOPSIS
         use Psad;
         writepid()
         writecmdline()
         unique_pid()
         psyslog()
         check_commands()
DESCRIPTION
       The Psad.pm module contains several subroutines that are used by Port
       Scan Attack Detector (psad) daemons.  writepid()  writes process ids to
       the pid files (e.g. "/var/run/psad.pid").  writecmdline()  writes the
       psad command line contained within @ARGV[] to the file
       "/var/run/psad.cmd".  unique_pid()  makes sure that no other daemon
       process is already running in order to guarantee pid uniqueness.  psys-
       log() an interface to sending messages via syslog.  check_commands()
       check paths to commands and warns if unable to find any particular com-
       mand.
