more of an addendum: is --daemon-notify necessary? or is it used with a
custom path for the clamav.conf?
--daemon-notify=/path/to/clamav.conf
Notify the daemon about the new database. By
default it reads hardcoded directory, but you can
specify another one using a full path to cla-
mav.conf. Local and TCP sockets are supported.
