According to the docs at <http://clamav.elektrapro.com/doc/html/node16.html>, clamd can be controlled with commands like PING, RELOAD, QUIT, etc.
Then, according to <http://clamav.elektrapro.com/doc/html/node17.html>:
"Always stop the daemon cleanly, with QUIT command or SIGTERM signal. In other case, you can lose an access to the protected files until the system is restarted. "
I can't get clamd <any argument> to work, other than 'clamd -h' or 'clamd -v':
# clamd # ps -ef | grep clam root 864 1 3 08:35 ? 00:00:00 clamd # # clamd QUIT # clamd quit # ps -ef | grep clam root 864 1 0 08:35 ? 00:00:00 clamd #
So, then I kill it, with 'kill -9 <ps #>'. I don't lose access to the directories that clamd was protecting.
The install docs for clamav were pretty clear, so I guess I'm just not understanding the meaning of the doc pages I quoted above. Can someone clarify how I am supposed to use the QUIT, etc. commands for clamd?
Thanks, Ted Fines
