Fail2ban - 使用 exec 或 shell_exec 从 php 脚本手动添加 ip

Question

i'm trying to add ip to fail2ban banlist instantly when detect differs types of ungrateful visitors, i'm trying do this from php script running next command with 'shell' or 'shell_exec':

exec('fail2ban-client -vvv set ssh-iptables banip 123.123.123.123');

(I would like use native detections of fail2ban and additionally add or remove bans manually from my admin zone in my own website.)

But, this method doesn't work...

Any idea? Thanks!
