Just curious if anyone has seen this problem pop up again after
upgrading to the most recent clam (ClamAV 0.94.2/8839/Tue Jan 6

)? The error was:
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire clamd/supervise/lock: temporary

I had it pop up, after qmailctl stop/start (as
I'm working with QmailToaster Virtual Appliance (CentOS 4.4) and I had same
problem. After reading the Thread and updated the packages with those in devel
branch I solved the question! Thanks!

I'll mention at this thread too, that upgrading to
clamav-toaster-0.90.1-1.3.11 from the
devel site seemed to fix my problems.
Consider this long thread closed :) Thanks for ES and EE for working
so hard to get this issue
solved.
Cheers,
Peter
It wasn't that hard. The hard work was done by the ClamAV group.

Hi all,
I've watching clamd 0.90 for some time and found a few strange things:
every line in the logs are duplicated (wonder if this has something to do
with new clamd logging support for syslog and a log file?)
in 64bits system (Intel) clamd crashes quite often (haven't had that
problem in AMD
Regarding duplicated clamd log messages, the fix is to comment out LogFile
stderr in /etc/clamd.conf (and stop/start). EE will be releasing a fixed
toaster version very soon that does this and also removes the stderr patch.
I can't speak to the other issues.

This is what me and Eric found out yesterday:
If we start my toaster with clamav scanning one domain and feed it a

The pid of your clamd (user clamav) shouldnt change and be listed as

I seem to have similiar problems with the new clamav which I've been

Thanks for the report, Peter. I'm sure it'll help with tracking this problem

A few thoughts come to mind (first thing in the morning, so I hope I'm awake!):

One more thing. If at all possible, it'd be great if you could refrain from
backing off the update for a little bit. That way if the fix ends up being a
relatively simply tweak, we'll have a machine to try it out on right away.
Thanks.

Peter (and others with this problem),
I've done some testing on the new toaster I just built. The only symptom
I've seen is the duplicated clamd log messages. Inbound messages have
scanned ok, and clamdscan terminated normally (afaict).

Hey FA,

Good news: I found out why messages are being duplicated.
The new output.c module in clamav has a new logg_foreground setting (enabled
in the toaster) which sends log output to stdout. The toaster used to use a
patched capability (still in there) which allows for specifying stderr as
the log file

in fact that is the problem.) I feel out of my league here and
appreciate the help!

still-active simscans)?

These almost-duplicate messages indeed look odd. I don't have them in an
older clamav-toaster version, but I do see them in a new toaster I just
built. I can't get into it any more tonight, but will be looking into it
first thing tomorrow. There appears to be some sort of problem with the
latest
I believe there are. And the simscan/clamav pairs seem to be
multiplying as a new check of processes returns:
