You could determine this by looking at the virus-db mailing list. Any procmail programmers want to post script to do this? When a new mail comes out, you initiate a new download within 5-10 minutes. I see the following problems with this: virusdb mailings would need to be gpg signed, and procmail script would need to verify gpg signature. Not sure how to do this. Everyone would download at at once whenever a new update came out. Their is not a signifigant delay between virus updates and mailings. If sourceforge mailing list breaks, your updates break.
So a more efficient update scheme might be 4 per day normally and within 5-10 minutes of whenever a new virusdb comes out. -- Luke Computer Science System Administrator Security Administrator,College of Engineering Montana State University-Bozeman,Montana ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
