Citeren Paul Smith via clamav-users <[email protected]>:
That's certainly how it seems to behave here. If the DNS record hasn't changed, then it just says "everything's fine" and does nothing else. So, if you ran Freshclam every minute, it wouldn't download anything except lots of DNS queries (which would be cached more locally).
It reads the TXT record for 'current.cvd.clamav.net' which has a TTL of 1800 seconds. Running freshclam more frequent than once every thirty minutes is therefor in most cases just wasting CPU cycles, as the previous answer will be used then. Even if the answer isn't cached locally, chances are it will be cached somewhere upstream.
