Greetings,

Has anyone encountered the following problem:

Somehow there was a stale .dbLock file in the database directory, and the log file was full of
'ERROR: Can't lock database directory: /cs/local/share/clamav'
I did a strace and saw the freashclam was trying to create a new .dbLock file, but it kept failing due to the existing .dbLock file. I am going to assume that a previous freshclam didn't exit cleanly and left a .dbLock around, is there a FixStaleDBLock file option similar to the FixStaleSocket option?

We normally run freshclam out of cron, ClamAv version 0.90 and we are using ScriptedUpdates.


Thanks
Paul
