The log is locked by the daemon. Should I never manually run this and just let the 'cron' job to auto update this? Updates are performed by the daemon, not via a cron job, if you chose so during installation. You can fine tune it with the Checks parameter in /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf. If you chose to update via cron job, the script /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam says: If user wants it run from cron, we only accept no-daemon and stop Ciao, gc :-) ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
