If you chose the LocalSocket method of communicating with clamd, you
ca use a very cool piece of software called socat to send commands to
clamd. You can read about it here: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/.
Read the instructions on how to compile it, and then do:
socat - /tmp/clamd <COMMAND> (your path to clamd may be different)
Commands:
PING - should reply with a PONG. It tells you that clamd is alive.
RELOAD - reloads the database
SHUTDOWN - shuts down clamd
VERSION - shows you clamd's version.
