Hi Traiano, I don't know of any such console applications. If you are up for developing something and you are using clamd, there is a protocol that runs on top of TCP. clamdtop uses this protocol (see 'man clamd' for details). Clamd protocol commands PING, SHUTDOWN, RELOAD, and STATS may be of interest for this purpose. You could also consider rerouting syslog and extract info from log files. Also, some of the programs in the ClamAV contrib directory may provide examples and ideas. With some scripting around freshclam, you could control database downloads centrally (note freshclam has a deamon mode too). So, with some work, you should be able to build a nice tool around these interfaces.
