Overview

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. psyslog() an interface to sending messages via syslog. check_commands() check paths to commands and warns if unable to find any particular command.
