I have identified an issue resulting in the hanging of the Argus daemon when started with init scripts (tested here on Debian 7.6) and if the /etc/argus.conf file has uncommented and set:

ARGUS_DAEMON=yes

and the /etc/init.d/argus script is enabled, then when the system boots it will hang before it gets to login (can't even ^C out of it). It is then necessary to reboot into single user mode (or enter via SSH) to stop and disable the Argus service.

By comparison, passing the -d flag twice on a command line invocation of argus results in:

ArgusError: 08 Oct 14 15:59:59.547665 argus: ArgusEstablishListen: bind() error

...and then dumps me back to the shell, so it would appear that Argus is struggling when it parses argus.conf with ARGUS_DAEMON=yes and has -d passed in via the init script.

Regards,
Nick
