I had happened to me that fresh-clam silently died on me and the signatures were not updated any more. That's the reason why I am calling fresh-clam from cron and (if exit code reports an error) I get an email if there's any trouble.
It's just that little bit safer than to depend on an update function that doesn't report trouble.
If no av is available and you configured virus scanning in amavisd-new, then mail is deferred. I don't want that. (^-°)
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@tmsusa.com Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
