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.
