[qmailtoaster] Why Is Clamd Swelling Up?
Greetings, I'm seeing clamav sitting at the top of the process table on my RHEL 4 based toaster: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 25685 clamav16 0 155m 53m 920 S 198 1.3 68:03.72 clamd Can anyone comment on what might be provoking this? This is on a box-stock toaster install.

Never seen that one before. clamav will check it's database every hour (default, changeable in the config) which I've noticed will eat the CPU for 3-12 minutes depending on the CPU every hour. Is it an hourly thing, or an all the time thing? It's an all the time thing (at least at the moment). I've killed it a restarted it a couple of times this morning. But once it runs for a a while it gets right back up there. For example, here's a snapshot of current resource usage: PID USER PR NI %CPUTIME+ %MEM VIRT RES SHR S COMMAND 32085 clamav16 0 197 99:10.65 1.1 99292 43m 932 S clamd Have you added any extra defs? Nope. It's dead stock from when I built this toaster. No mods whatsoever. This is on a Xeon 3.0 Ghz (dual core) with 4 GB RAM, running on top of 10K RPM U320 SCA SCSI drives, running RHEL 4, with all latest updates/patches. --Duncan - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, when clamd is running the way it is, qmailctl isn't killing it properly. Here're the results of my latest qmailctl stop: # qmailctl stat authlib: supervise not running clamd: up (pid 32085) 4539 seconds, want down imap4: supervise not running imap4-ssl: supervise not running pop3: supervise not running pop3-ssl: supervise not running send: supervise not running smtp: supervise not running spamd: supervise not running authlib/log: supervise not running clamd/log: supervise not running imap4/log: supervise not running imap4-ssl/log: supervise not running pop3/log: supervise not running pop3-ssl/log: supervise not running send/log: supervise not running smtp/log: supervise not running spamd/log: supervise not running I've let this run for a bit to let it die on its own, but have had to kill it manually every time so far as svc -d (apparently) can't... --Duncan - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have similar problems with clamav-0.90.1. They dissappear when I installed 0.91.2 (look in devel.qmailtoaster.com)

Remember to recompile reinstall simscan after you install the new clamav. Natalio.

I've never touched any part of this install since new; full upgrade instructions are available on the toaster site, I assume?
