Thanks. I will check for a newer script. Below is the one I'm using. I have 
no idea where I got it, as it was several years ago. Looks pretty simple and 
doesn't appear to do any testing.


[EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]# cat freshclam
#!/bin/sh

### A simple update script for the clamav virus database.
### This could as well be replaced by a SysV script.

### fix log file if needed
LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log"
if [ ! -f "$LOG_FILE" ]; then
    touch "$LOG_FILE"
    chmod 644 "$LOG_FILE"
    chown clamav.clamav "$LOG_FILE"
fi


/usr/bin/freshclam \
    --quiet \
    --datadir="/var/clamav" \
    --log="$LOG_FILE" \
    --log-verbose \
    --daemon-notify="/etc/clamd.conf"
