No, from command line. Just execute `/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d` as root or as clamav user.How do people run freshclam in daemon mode,Tried freshclam -d yet?
From cron???
You can monitor its activities from freshclam.log (look for UpdateLogFile on /usr/local/etc/freshclam.log)
At the moment I run it via cron like this:Which means you spawn multiple freshclam daemon every 8 hours!. Freshclam entry in crontab do not require "-d"
0 */8 * * * root /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -d -c 4 -l /usr/local/share/clamav/clam-update.log
Check your system process : there must be only one freshclam process running. Kill other freshclam processess.
Besides, the "-c" and "-l" is deprecated on new clamav releases. Modify freshclam.conf instead.
All you need is freshclam -d, run from command line. Not from crontab.
I meant like running clamd in daemon mode ;)Then my answer is right :)
