OK, that makes sense -

In our case however, if clamd has died, it will simply use clamscan. A
bit slower, but mail will flow.

We have a daily cron job which mails us the current sig level from the
clamav boxes:

# send virus def level -
7 11 * * 1-5    /usr/bin/sigtool -V | mail -s "virus defs for
`hostname`" lxmail@xxxxxxxxxx
