Hello, I am not that much experienced with linux. I would like to have freshclam doing updates by itself. Until now I did the update manually. The clamav-update file in my /etc/cron.d directory is as follow:
## Adjust this line... MAILTO=root,postmaster,webmaster,clamav ## It is ok to execute it as root; freshclam drops privileges and becomes ## user 'clamav' as soon as possible 0 */3 * * * root /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep how should I edit it to have it work ? The shell script freshclam-sleep it is supposed to run "points" to a freshclam file in the /etc/sysconfig directoryand in this file I commmented (#) the FRESHCLAM_DELAY=disabled-warn line >From what I understand, the freshclam-sleep script should be run every 3 hours. The cron.hourly directory is empty. Also I gathered that I should add a line in the/my crontab to run freshclam as a cron task. Before I mess everything up, can someone tell me how to set the cron thing to run freshclam this way. Thanx in advance.
