Hi,

Which is the correct method to exclude directories from a scan;

I ran clamscan --help and it says to use --exclude-dir=REGEX, not --exclude=REGEX. I'd do what it says, and it works.

And since it says to use a regex expression, perhaps it will allow:

--exclude-dir='/proc|/devices|/var|/xfn|/lib'

Thanks again Dennis.

This is in regard to SMEServer(contribs.org) that use custom 'templates' to produce the command line arguments.

Their code would produce --exclude /proc --exclude /devices --exclude /var

which according to the man is wrong.

I'm going to let it run overnight with and without my modified template and see what the result summary shows.

Regards,
William.
