"Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). " Why would you want to scan Oracle database files? And on HP-UX, on top of that? If you REALLY want to have a general-purpose virus scanner that would examine all files, and quickly decides whether a file is harmless or not just by reading a few bytes from the file (or even something like an "on-access" scanner) you might have better luck with commercial AV products instead. > and it's been runnning for several hours.

It would be easier to just use --exclude-dir. See "man clamscan" Regards, Fajar _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
