I know I could be anal but could you please have your crontab entry like this: 0 6,8 * * * root /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -c 4 -l /var/log/clam-update.log I have merged it into one. I don't know why you wanna run it at 6 and at 8, but in cron you can specify multiple hours like 6,8,10...n. My practice is also that I always specify the user I want the cron ran as. > Output of "ls -al /var/log/clam-update.log" > -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 0 Feb 9 04:02 > /var/log/clam-update.log This is okay. I am sure the cron will still work if you substituted user 'root' for 'clamav' as long as clamav home directory is owned by clamav. > (Hope I didn't send this to you twice) You did.
