I am not getting any joy with the -f or -ff switch. When I try
>strace -o clam-debug.txt -ff clamd
It only creates one process:
clamav 4648 0.0 1.6 26904 20984 ? Ts 12:19 0:00 clamd
Clamd also has problems then removing the socket:
WARNING: Socket file /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl exists. Unclean shutdown?
Removing...
The file generated by strace for pid 4648 is empty
======== Last output from strace
brk(0x12114c000) = 0x12114c000
open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY) = 4
close(0) = 0
dup2(4, 1) = 1
dup2(4, 2) = 2
chdir("/") = 0
fork() = 4648
munmap(0x2000001c000, 8192) = 0
exit_group(0) = ?
I think I may need to look at gdb? Any hints?
Thanx.
