Rick,
I guess your best bet is to switch off the PhishingScanURLs, if you
don't like the idea of using new code at this stage.
I am still testing the PCRE on a test server, and I still have my main
server running a crontab script which kills clamscan every now and then
when it has been working for a long time.
====
#!/bin/sh
pid=`pgrep -u defang -f clamscan -o`
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
#/bin/uptime
#ps -o user,pid,pcpu,time,etime,comm -u defang
etime=`ps -o time,comm -p $pid |tail -1 | awk -F: ' { print $1 } '`
if [ $etime -ge 5 ]; then
sleep 60
#echo "Kill Clamscan: $pid"
kill $pid
fi
fi
