Package: clamav
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please give clamdscan an option to signal a running clamd to reload
the databases. Alternatively, please include a clamdreload binary
which does this.

The code to do so is already there, in freshclam/notify.c. It only
needs to be factored out in a dedicated binary, which could then also
be called on /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon reload.

This is needed for clamav-data to force reloading the daemon after
installing new databases. I don't see any sense in duplicating the
code from notify.c in clamav-data, I hope you agree.

Greetings
Marc
