Rick, I guess your best bet is to switch off the PhishingScanURLs, if you don't like the idea of using new code at this stage.
I am still testing the PCRE on a test server, and I still have my main server running a crontab script which kills clamscan every now and then when it has been working for a long time. ==== #!/bin/sh pid=`pgrep -u defang -f clamscan -o` if [ $? = 0 ]; then #/bin/uptime #ps -o user,pid,pcpu,time,etime,comm -u defang etime=`ps -o time,comm -p $pid |tail -1 | awk -F: ' { print $1 } '` if [ $etime -ge 5 ]; then sleep 60 #echo "Kill Clamscan: $pid" kill $pid fi fi ==== Andrew rick pim wrote: > Trog writes: > > You've taken note of the recent postings on trouble with the standard > > Solaris regex library?
