I have found that stopping freshclam and then starting it picks up the new
version. -HUPing does not appear to do the trick, same goes for log rotation.
I have also renamed /etc/init.d/freshclam to /etc/init.d/freshclamd, as
killall was also trying to kill the /etc/init.d/freshclam. Weird but
understandable.
Here is a modified version of the freshclam control script:
(restartquiet is for logrotation, stops spurious cron emails)
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/freshclamd
COMMAND=$1
if [ "$COMMAND" == "start" ] ; then
echo -n "Starting freshclam daemon ... "
/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d
echo " done."
exit
elif [ "$COMMAND" == "stop" ] ; then
echo -n "Stopping freshclam daemon ... "
killall -TERM freshclam
echo " done."
exit
elif [ "$COMMAND" == "reload" ] ; then
echo -n "Restarting freshclam daemon ... "
killall -HUP freshclam
echo " done"
elif [ "$COMMAND" == "restart" ] ; then
echo -n "Stopping freshclam daemon ... "
killall -TERM freshclam
echo " done."
sleep 5
echo -n "Starting freshclam daemon ... "
/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d
echo " done."
elif [ "$COMMAND" == "restartquiet" ] ; then
killall -TERM freshclam
sleep 5
/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d
else
echo "usage: $0 start|stop|restart|reload"
exit
fi
