This is the case for me on at least 4 servers last week, because of a 2 hour power loss (the ups shortened that by 10 minutes).Tomasz Kojm wrote:"Travis Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:I have tried running clamd in local socket mode.

the error "ERROR:
You should stop clamd cleanly - eg. by sending the SIGTERM signal.
What about the following pseudo-code at startup of clamd (instead of failing):
if (file exists(UNIX_SOCKET)) { if (connect(UNIX_SOCKET) != ERROR) { die ("Socket already exists"); } warn ("Socket already exists but is not connected - unclean shutdown?"); unlink (UNIX_SOCKET); }
I advocate this proposal. It will make life easier for us. Yesterday I had to commute back to the office because clamd died for some reason I still cannot determine, even though it's monitored by daemontools.
I just think it's not the /etc/rc.x's job to clean up "temporary" files. I'll come up with a patch 'till monday...
