Well, if it's properly written, it should be a perfectly clean way to stop it. And even if it isn't properly written, Linux should clean up the mess for you. No harm done. We're not running Windows, after all. > I tried > kill -3 <clamd-pid> > and nothing happens.

That's why I wrote a howto for running clamd under DJB's daemontools package. My clamdctl script (after the fashion of apachectl and qmailctl) properly handles the socket file cleanup and even makes sure that if clamd dies it will be immediately restarted.
