I know there is a socket command for clamd that can tell clamd to reload the virus defintion databases.You're right, clamd checks the database integrity itself, by default every hour. This is controlled by the "SelfCheck" variable in configuration file.
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. :)

Apparantly I'm not up to date regarding the reload command, though. I remember a bug report for that, but I dunno if this bug was fixed?
