Isn't this, by chance, the normal clamd behaviour, like in: > > 14528 ? S 0:03 /usr/sbin/clamd > 14529 ? S 0:14 /usr/sbin/clamd > 14530 ?

When run from the command line the if condition works properly and identifies when the clamd daemon is running and just exits with an 2 lines in the message log. i.e.: 22779 Aug 18 12:13:25 clamd is running If it is not running it deletes the clamd.sock and starts clamd daemon, logging : skill: no matching processes Aug 18 12:16:08 restarting clamd daemon rm: /var/amavisd/clamd.sock: No such file or directory Current working dir is /usr/local/share/clamav When run from crontab the if statement always runs the "else" whether clamd is running or not. Thus the multiple copies of clamd. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
