Dear all,
I have searched the mail archive, both clamav-devel and clamav-users,
with no hope.
I installed the new ClamAV 0.81 on my Linux box, and found the PID
file of clamav-milter is different now. The PID is minus. ^^; I cannot
figure out why, but a line in the ChangeLog saying:
On Linux store the -ve process group in the pid file to
ensure that all threads are sent signals
and a line in clamav-milter.c saying:
/* Ensure that all threads are kill()ed */
What is "-ve process group" means? And how does it revelent to
"ensuring all threads are sent signals"? I'd searched the google whole
day with no answer. All I know is that the PID is minus now, and I
cannot simply "kill `cat [pidfile]`". Why are you making PID negative?
Is there another expected, official method to stop clamav-milter
than "kill `cat [pidfile]`"? I can't get this answer on google either.
Currently I hack to turn PID "from negative to positive". Under
bash, I do "echo $((0-$(<[pidfile]))) > [pidfile]" after clamav-milter
is started. I guess this is not the answer, though.
