Hi Guys,

 Im having another problem with clamd 0.90 dying ....

I'm not using update scripts, tough i do have a script that runs and grab a clamav-format malware database file (www.malware.com.br).

When a new definition file is downloaded, the update script issues a 'service clamd reload' command. Several times, i'm having on reload:

Tue Feb 27 16:38:17 2007 -> +++ Started at Tue Feb 27 16:38:17 2007
Tue Feb 27 16:38:17 2007 -> clamd daemon 0.90 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: i386, CPU: i686)

Tue Feb 27 16:38:50 2007 -> --- Stopped at Tue Feb 27 16:38:50 2007

Please note i'm not script updating clamav definition files. I'm script updating an alternative definition file with extra malware definitions.

Would it be OK if instead of 'reload', i lowered the SelfCheck time on clamd.conf for, let's say, 5-10 minutes ?? a SelfCheck would notice that a definition file was changed ?
