Update 50-fail2ban to use GNU zgrep to gracefully handle logrotates default gzip of old logfiles #9

Closed TrooperT closed 5 years ago

change initial file read to use zgrep [part of GNU gzip package] to gracefully handle gzipped and non-gzipped log files.

may be applicable in more places but this was the one that stood out to me.

Hi

You can use zgrep yes, but it is slightly slower than grep, and I keep my logfiles uncompressed, that's why I want to keep using grep. This is my personal source repository for all motd-scripts, so I'll keep grep here, but please continue to use zgrep in your case :).

Thanks!
