I've gotten clamd to run smoothly after making some changes and thought
I'd post them for the group. clamd has been running 4 days without a
problem now, and it isn't eating up resources, either. I'll continue to
monitor it, but this behaviour is WAY different than what I had before.
Here's what I did:
In the past, when .65 was current, I had installed clamd, but didn't
run it because I was sidetracked with other things.
I came back to the project, and .70rc-1 was current, so I downloaded
the source tree, did a ./configure, make, make install. I experienced
problems with clamd dying as noted above after around 15-20 hours of use.
I checked the readme, noticed it was using the new thread manager, so I
decided to try .68. I downloaded the source, did a ./configure, make, make
install. Then, I noted that clamd was dying after approx 2-3 hours of use.
That's when I posted earlier to the list.
Then I tried something new.
I went into the .68 tree, and ran "make uninstall"
I then went into the .70 tree, and ran "make uninstall", then
./configure, make, make install.
I have noticed since doing so, clamd has been very stable on this
machine.
I wonder if my original .70 build was linked to an older .65 library
that was causing some problems that the make uninstall solved.
No problems whatsoever now, but I'll continue to monitor it.
