However, when I restarted the fail2ban service, I found that my options were ignored. This happens because fail2ban's init script does not use this variable. I think /etc/init.d/fail2ban (line 69) has to be startproc $FAIL2BAN_CLI -q $FAIL2BAN_OPTIONS start > /dev/null 2>&1 instead of startproc $FAIL2BAN_CLI -q start > /dev/null 2>&1 This works for me.
