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...
Try reading my posts again and you might see what I mean. Are you aware that you can run freshclam as a daemon or not as a daemon? If you choose not to run it as a daemon and instead run it from crontab it can never stop because it's launched when it's supposed to do it's job, therefore you don't have to monitor it.
I still can't see the benefit of running it as a daemon.
