The ClamAV source distribution includes a contrib tree that contains some perl code that allows you to connect to a Unix socket (or a tcp socket). With a little bit of coding it would be easy to re-use that to create an interactive CLI for your daemon. My testing in Solaris show improvements in performance when running with Unix sockets vs tcp sockets. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
