Thank you Everton! I have amavisd-new with spamassassin, and clamd is the only virus scanner I have on that system. Therefore, when amavisd starts, it automatically starts using clamd. However, with all the new versions, I noticed that clamd would start out fine, clean out some viruses for some 10-20 minutes, and then do nothing else. Nothing else visible in clamd.log, it just uses lots of CPU and does nothing, while amavisd keeps waiting forever.
Yesterday, as a stopgap solution, I wrote a C program to monitor the last change time of clamd.log, and if it has not been changed in the last 3 minutes, I kick clamd and restart it. Ugly solution, and it will probably have problems with amavisd, so I await a proper fix. -turgut On Tue, 16 Mar 2004, Everton da Silva Marques wrote: > On Tue, Mar 16, 2004 at 03:36:40PM +0200, turgut kalfaoglu wrote: > > I am running clamav under SunOS 5.8.
