Hi all,

Although freshclam is definitely running (and working,too), and there is a 
valid and readable freshclam.log in /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log, I get the 
folllowing via my daily logwatch:

--------------------- clam-update Begin ------------------------
The ClamAV update process (freshclam daemon) was not running!
If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the freshclam.log
file will suppress this error message.

---------------------- clam-update End -------------------------
Anyone any idea why this might be?

Thanks,

Martin

I noticed this recently as well, but didn't get around to trying to debug it.

There might be a subtle bug in the /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/clam-update script, although that script hasn't been touched in over 4 years.

Please post the contents of your /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log file that correspond to the date in question, and we'll see if we can't determine what the problem is.
