Hello!
I'm running version 0.88.5. I'm running into a problem with freshclam
hanging up occasionally during our hourly updates. I see the process
still running:
26347 ? S 0:00 awk -v progname=/etc/cron.hourly/freshclam
progname {????? print progname ":\n"????? progname="";???? }????
{ print; }
26348 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet
If I look at the end of the freshclam.log, I see this:

As you can see, it ran find at 8am, then 9am, then at 10am it hangs
after the first two lines. It will pretty much hang indefinitely until I
kill the process.
Here is what's in our freshclam.conf:
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log
DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
(commented out lines removed).
I've copied this freshclam.conf from another server that isn't having
these problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I run freshclam in cron and this happens so often I've added a couple
lines of code in the script to kill existing instances of freshclam
before starting a new one.
