daemontools)

No, in your original post you wrote about using daemontools for the freshclam daemon. I understand perfectly that you want to be sure qmail and clamd are running, but freshclam? It has been known to stop and why implement another system to keep it running when you can run it from crontab? Just don't run it at 0 minutes like everyone else. ;-)
