Hi Eric.

Well I think the logtime setting was enabled during an update (previous one) since default logtime setting is 'disabled' or 'NO' in th freshclam.conf file.

This may as You write have an impact on the information in the logfile, I haven't checked, but after I made the changes to the freshclam.conf back then, I got the informations from logwatch I used to have regarding freshclam (not saying I'm not missing anything because of the lack of timestamp - this I better investigate - maybe an invalid timeformat).

While disabling logtime might get rid of the message, I don't think it's the right fix. I would expect that disabling logtime would prohibit logwatch from showing *any* freshclam information, as logwatch wouldn't be able to tell which messages are from which date. Log messages without a time stamp are pretty much useless imo. Unless I'm misunderstanding what this option does. I think it's intended for configurations where log messages go to the syslog, which puts its own timestamp on messages.

Hi Martin.

In addition to removing the 1'st line in the logfile do this :

In the freshclam.conf file (/etc/freshclam.conf) disable logtime from yes to NO.

Hi Dave and thanks for the hint. This did not work for me, unfortunately...

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
