Tomasz,
I should have added that the script which I use to run freshclam
checks the return value of freshclam - see extract below.
RETVAL=-1
umask 002
/usr/local/bin/freshclam -v --log=/var/log/freshclam/freshclam.log
RETVAL=$?
echo -en "\nCompleted the daily download of the clamAV virus \
databases at "
date
echo -e "\nFreshclam return value was $RETVAL"
Interestingly, the retrun code from freshclam is 1 (i.e. success).
Starting the daily download of the clamAV virus databases to the
Labserver at Thu Jan 29 09:26:31 GMT 2004
Current working dir is /var/lib/clamav
Max retries == 3
ClamAV update process started at Thu Jan 29 09:26:31 2004
Connecting via proxy.littleport
Connected to clamav.inet6.fr (172.31.2.2).
Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK
ERROR: Maximal time (1200 seconds) reached.
Completed the daily download of the clamAV virus databases at Thu
Jan 29 09:46:31 GMT 2004
Freshclam return value was 1
Clearly the script calling freshclam did not set RETVAL to 1, so
freshclam must have completed successfully and yet having done this,
the freshclam process just goes to sleep until the timeout ocurrs.
Thanks again for your help,
Regards,
Jo.
