You must not be following the list very closely. Such scripts have been posted frequently and several good ones are available from http://sanesecurity.co.uk/clamav/usage.htm Also, if you check the Sanesecurity usage page, you will note "download signatures only when there have been changes", which your script seems to ignore. Use the wget -N option. Also, it looks as if you are removing your tmp files every time the script runs. This causes rsync to download the whole file rather than checking for changes, and makes it impossible for wget -N to work. Your script still needs some work. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
