Ok thanks! You really need to work on your social skills though. Here's how NORMAL people (i.e. people NOT in the autistic spectrum) would have handled this:
YOU: "Hey I noticed the "-" prefix in "ExecStartPre=-/bin/mkdir /run/clamav" line. This does not indicate a problem, but rather a warning letting you know that the directory already exists. You don't have anything to worry about" ME: "Thanks! I appreciate you looking at it. You are awesome!" See? It's simple. Just don't be a dick! Give it a try. Thanks again!

I’m not sure what the problem is" - idiot there is no problem "ExecStartPre=-/bin/mkdir /run/clamav" is prefixed with - so that the service don't fail in case the directory exists and "mkdir" natuarlly fails when a directory already exists when you delete the directory - guess what - it get created and no warning - frankly this is not a clamav topic at all but lack of basic understanding of your system _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
