Hi,
I would have thought that starting clamd in inittab, as for example:
av:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/clamd
would be a nice idea ...
no need to check whether clamd is alive...
Unfortunately when I did that, I got problems. It seems that the parent
process foks a child process and then terminates, and therefore init
continually respawns the process.
Are you sure this is what is happening? If I remember correctly
a parent isn't supposed to die after spawning a child. Child
processes without parents are zombies.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Daemontools?
