I'm trying to automate the updating of clamav. I'm using http://sial.org/howto/mimedefang/clamav/ as a HOWTO.
I've installed clamav 0.83 (which seems to be out of date now). According to the link above, one of my options is to use a script called up-avdefs. The web page includes a link with the actual script. Yet the implication is that this comes with clamav. When you check the script provided by the HOWTO, the comments imply to me that it comes with the clamav distro. I don't see it in my distro. So I moved on. I'm looking at freshclam, and when I look at both the config file along with the comments, the implication seems to be that it runs as a daemon. Yet, when I run freshclam, and then check for it with ps -aux, I don't find any such item. Freshclam seems to run once, and update the database. So, do I simply place freshclam in the crontab, running it periodically? What am I missing? === Al _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
