Because I like the way I can control qmail and clamd via daemontools...
And freshclam stopping is, to me, a major issue. If it stops and I'm unaware that it
has stopped, then I run the risk of missing a vital virus definition update...
If noone else has implemented this, then I'll just read a lot and figure it out on my
own ... I'll post my results to the list when I have some... I attempted this
already, but all I got for my troubles was a large number of freshclam instances
running at once... *doh!*
Thanks!

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. ;-)
