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?

Or make sure that Foreground is enabled in clamd.conf.

Regards,

Rick
