since freshclam has daemon support, it also seems logical that one might want to run it in the foreground for use with tools such as djb's daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html)
This patch allows you to pass the -f flag to freshclam's command line to make it stay in the foreground instead of forking into the background. it's available at http://scriptkitchen.com/qmail/freshclam-foreground.patch so far it has been patching successfully against all versions of clamav (at least 0.70+, not sure about earlier ones) including the latest, 0.73. enjoy. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.
