can I make freshclam automatically run every 24 hours instead of manually
executing it? if so, how can I accomplish this?
If you've installed ClamAV using your specific distribution's packaging tools
(ie: APT/apt-get for Debian, Portage/emerge for Gentoo, yum for Fedora, etc)
then for most a service is added that will start the clam and freshclam daemons
automagically. eg:
In Debian at a command prompt: /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam start
In Gentoo at a command prompt: /etc/init.d/clamd start
...etc. From memory, Fedora puts these sorts of things in /etc/rc.d/init.d or
something like that.
If you installed ClamAV from source, then simply add a cron job to run freshclam
for you at any time interval you like.
