i dont think that is usual for scripts to lockup, in fact i only
saw freshclam locking up (and dont really know why yet)
I remember that when i started to use unix systems, i learned that
one should to send to background more complex cronjobs just in case they
took longer, but not lock
But if a process locks up it will stay there until next reboot, i
had a freshclam locked for 3 days, before i note it... so there should be
a way to clean up old process, specially in a appliance.
The killall is a easy and simple shot term solution.
The long term solution is to find why freshclam locks... i'm
trying to get a log of a locked freshclam to know why... i will report
when and if i found anything.

yes, it might be a good solution, for very frequent updates
the daemon is better, for longer the crontab is the better way...
But the questions is really: "will the deamon not lock up
and freezes the AV updates?"
Is there any "hidden" option to turn on the daemon or its only
by editing the scripts?

again, i only saw the freshclam locked, but i will try to
check if there are any others.

yes, i totally agree with this one... and it should be able to
sync the clients in the network (via the ntp dhcp field -rarely used,
but its there, so why not use it- and inform the admin in the docs how
to manually configure the workstations to sync then, ie:
net time /setsntp:IP_or_dns_of_efw )

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
