Newbie Question,
I use the clamscan util to recursively scan a given filesystem.
Am I missing something about how to get clamdscan to recurse... Because
I cannot find a setting to get it to recurse even one dir level without
hard coding something like /myfs/*/* ... ?
It ignores the "-r" from clamscan.
I'd like to scan a multi-TB filesystem periodically and clamscan will
take forever, so looking at clamdscan possibly.
clamdscan is recusive by default, so there is no '-r' option like clamscan.
Example :
clamdscan /opt
will scan /opt and all subdirectories.
If you want to get the fastest scan here is the trick :
