Nobody had an answer for me, so maybe you missed my post. So I'll re-post...
I've encountered something weird here. I made a script, to use with cron. Here's what it looks like: #!/bin/bash BAK1="" BAK2="" BACK="" EXCL="" BAK1=`date +%m%d%Y` BAK2=`date +%H%M` BACK=`echo clam_${BAK1}_${BAK2}` EXCL='--exclude=Mailbox --exclude=/home/httpd --exclude=/home/admin --exclude=/d ev --exclude=/extra --exclude=/proc --exclude=/var --exclude=/home/clamav/quaran tine --exclude=/root/installed' /usr/local/bin/clamscan -l /home/clamav/logs/$BACK.log -r -i --mbox --move=/home /clamav/quarantine $EXCL --max-files=25 --max-space=25 --max-recursion=5 / I'm running this script from my cron like so: 30 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/clamav.sh When I run the script manually from the command line (and have no viruses) the only output that I get is the end-summary. ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 20403 Scanned directories: 9315 Scanned files: 97841 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 1392.87 MB I/O buffer size: 131072 bytes Time: 3456.558 sec (57 m 36 s) When this script runs in the cron, I get the following output mailed to me (from cron): //proc/10422/cmdline: Excluded (/proc). //proc/10422/stat: Excluded (/proc). //proc/10422/statm: Excluded (/proc). //proc/10422/maps: Excluded (/proc). //proc/10422/mem: Excluded (/proc). ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 20403 Scanned directories: 9315 Scanned files: 97841 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 1392.87 MB I/O buffer size: 131072 bytes Time: 3456.558 sec (57 m 36 s) Keep in mind, that there are HUNDREDS of files before this, all in /proc With the -i option, I should'nt get any output except infected files, and the end-summary. So what's the problem here? Why does it act differently if run from the command line, than from cron? Why does it ignore the -i option, but only for /proc, when I have many files (directories) '--exclude'ed, not just /proc? This seems to be very strange behavior.
