Rob, Thank you for your reply.
So to be clear, cron is calling a script (below). I assume even though cron is calling a script, rather than the individual commands in the script, your same suggestion applies? If so, would it be a matter of adding 1>/dev/null to the end of each line? I'm somewhat new to Linux, so forgive my elementary queries. Thank you. clamscan --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan / clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /_admin clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /bin clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /boot clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /etc clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /lib clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /mnt clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /opt clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /sbin clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /srv clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /tmp clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /usr clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan /var -------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.

How are you calling clamav - if it's from cron then remember to redirect the output or, as you're finding, root will get mailed with the output. Otherwise - how about some detail? -- Please keep list traffic on the list. Rob MacGregor Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he doesn't become a monster.
