You have to know that even if you run freshclam with root, it setuid's to the clamav user. That said, you have to be sure that that user can log (have homedir and stuff) and run the script. In my case I had to add some env vars to run the script. It wasn't easy to debug. It's a really weird problem. This is our line on the freshclam file: OnUpdateExecute BASH_ENV=~clamav/.bashrc HOME=~clamav /some/script.sh | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "ClamAV updated $HOSTNAME" The OnError line was much easier: OnErrorExecute tail /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "ClamAV Error $HOSTNAME" Regards, Samuel _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
