I know there is a socket command for clamd that can tell clamd to reload the virus defintion databases.

Is this something that clamd does on its own after a set period of time? Or is there maybe a helper application (clamdscan with a command line switch?) that could trigger this behavior?

I am curious because I have converted to clamdscan/clamd combination for use with my shell script (reduced the overall machine load from ~3.9 to around ~1.5).

My thinking is that we can use a call to `clamdscan -r` command, say in a crontab, that would cause the clamd to reload the virus definitions.

If this is already done by say:

SelfCheck: Database status OK.
SelfCheck: Integrity OK


Then... nevermind. :)
