Special is as Special Does!
I use a simple shell script to check for clamd and freshclam since there
have been versions where both/either died. Plus I timestamp and log.
As far as daemontools, I could never get it to function properly on my
OpenBSD - Postfix - Amavisd system. This simple script works great.
#!/bin/sh
# redirect output to /var/log/messages file
exec 1>>/var/log/checkclam
exec 2>&1
TIMESTAMP=`date +"%b %e %H:%M:%S"`
# Check for clamd daemon
if ! (ps -aU amavisd | grep clamd | grep -v grep > /dev/null)
then
echo $TIMESTAMP "restarting clamd"
# Remove Stale Socket
rm /var/amavisd/clamd.sock
# Start clamd
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
# Timestamp, log and send me a note
echo $TIMESTAMP "restarting clamd" > /tmp/clamrestart.txt
cat /tmp/clamrestart.txt | mail -s "clamd restart report"
[EMAIL PROTECTED] > /dev/null
rm /tmp/clamrestart.txt > /dev/null
fi
if ! (ps -aU amavisd | grep freshclam | grep -v grep > /dev/null)
then
echo $TIMESTAMP " restarting freshclam daemon"
/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d -c 4
--datadir=/var/amavisd/usr/local/share/clamav --log-verbose
fi
FYI - Since installing 0.65 this has recorded no restarts
