> If it runs out of cron it runs for just milli- seconds - other wise it is in the proc table
Assuming of course that you don't end up with hundreds of spawned cron jons. For some reason, I have seen more often than I care to think, multiple cron jobs firing off freshclam and then not hanging up. This can very very quickly eat away machine resource and lead to fatal failures. I have never had this behaviour using the freshclam daemon. So running freshclam in daemon mode may well use a tad more resource, in my life it has proved hundreds of time more reliable. (I run FC3, 4 and 5 in 32 and 64bit platforms and have seen this behaviour on only my 64 bit systems) B _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
