I have more information.
Turns out there is a cron job I was unaware of.
freshclam-sleep is running every 3 hours.
Apparently, freshclam-sleep does something that freshclam doesn't and
causes a database update.
Do I need to run freshclam and freshclam-sleep?
Can I turn off the freshclam-sleep cron job or should I use
freshclam-sleep instead of freshclam in my daily 3am maintenance script?

Hello clamd mailing list,
I recently installed clamav version 0.101.4-1.fc30 on Fedora 30.
A new situation I have never seen has started.
Every day around 5am clamd causes a problem.
I traced it to this in logs:
SelfCheck: Database modification detected. Forcing reload.
I have a daily cron job that runs around 3am that:
- shuts down clamd
- runs freshclam
- starts clamd
I see several of these log entries after the above daily cron between
3am and 5am:
SelfCheck: Database status OK.
So, since the Database is OK 99.9% of the time, why is it suddenly not
OK at 5am?
There are no cron jobs scheduled for 5am.
Thanks in advance
