I don't know if this is a bug, a misunderstanding, or bad configuration on my part so bear with me. I've been using clamav-0.60 for a while now, and it's running quite well on my email server. As mentioned in the directions I've set up a job in /etc/cron.daily (I'm using mandrake 9.0) to update the database nightly.
#!/bin/bash export http_proxy="cerebus:800" /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -l /var/log/clam-update.log
However because it often returns an exit code of 1 I get daily emails from cron because it thinks something is wrong. Looking in the man page reveals this:
RETURN CODES 0 : Database succesfully updated.
1 : Database is up-to-date.
I'm new to the *nix world (about 3 years now) but I thought returning anything other than a zero means an error.
True, but this case is a little special, as many people might want to be able to detect a change in DB.
I'd like to get error messages, but I don't need to get email telling me the database was up to date. Does anyone know why it was set up this way, and what should I do about it?
#!/bin/bash export http_proxy="cerebus:800" /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -l /var/log/clam-update.log if [ $? -le 1 ]; then exit 0 else exit $? fi
