Hello,
I was looking for a way to set up a cron job to, once per day, scan only
files that have changed in the last day. find works pretty well for that,
but the question is how to get the data to clamscan. My first thought was
xargs, but xargs isn't the most consistent when dealing with spaces/quotes
in filenames, and plus you have a limit on the total size of args passed
to a program. The current best working solution would be to do this:
find /path -ctime -1 -exec clamscan \{\} \;
but that invokes clamscan for EVERY matching file found. Instead, I would
like to request that a new flag, say -f, be added to clamscan/clamdscan
that takes a list of files, one file per line, from a file (-f file) or
stdin (-f -). That way you could do:
find /path -ctime -1 | clamscan -i -f -
or:
find /path -ctime -1 > /tmp/toscan
clamscan -i -f /tmp/toscan
and put it in a nightly cron job. What do you think?
