You may also want to change the update frequency. I am running
freshclam as a cron task and set it to not be on the hour, e.g. I
update at 5 minutes after the hour to try and hit the mirrors at a low
load time.
freshclam use dns to check if there is new updates, using cron you
loose this functionality
so configure freshclam.conf to use 24 updates pr day, this will try to
keep updates hourly, but if some mirror is down freshclam will not
wait one hour to try another
show "freshclam --list-mirrors" if there is problems with some mirrors
Hi Benny,
I do not understand your comment "freshclam use dns to check if there is
new updates, using cron you loose this functionality"
I am using freshclam but NOT running it as a daemon. Here is my cron task:
10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam >/dev/null 2>&1
So.... as far as I understand, I am using freshclam. If I am wrong or
loose some functionality with the cron task, can you elaborate or point
me to the relevant documentation?
Thanks, Jim
