the option --daemon-notify tries to connect to clamd and issue a "reload" command. That's the source of the error message.

hey all,
i am still having troubles with clamav on MDK 9.2.
this is what i get in the mail, when the daily cron job runs: subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily body: connect(): No such file or directory ERROR: Can't connect to clamd.
What do you get when you do
ps ax | grep clamd | grep -v grep Is clamd running?
i get nothing. clamd isn't running.
i think the perl script "checkvirus.pl" (filter) which xmail is using to check for viruses uses clamscan and not clamd.
Secondly, what does this cron job do? Freshclam???
yes. it's freshclam.
this script is in /etc/cron.daily : ------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh
# A simple update script for the clamav virus database. This could as well # be replaced by a SysV script.
# fix log file if needed LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log" if [ ! -f ${LOG_FILE} ]; then touch $LOG_FILE chmod 644 $LOG_FILE chown clamav.clamav $LOG_FILE fi
/usr/bin/freshclam \ --quiet \ --datadir=/var/lib/clamav \ --log=$LOG_FILE \ --log-verbose \ --daemon-notify=/etc/clamav.conf
