Rob, Thank you again for taking the time to reply, and for providing two useful alternative. The first worked perfectly, and I believe I'll try the second as it would be a much simpler script over all.
Thanks again. Sean -------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.

The easiest approach is to append the following to the line in cron (so you can run the script interactively and see the output): ">/dev/null 2>/dev/null" Alternatively, replace your script with the following: >>>>> #!/bin/sh PARTITIONS="/ /_admin /bin /boot /etc /lib /mnt /opt /sbin /srv /tmp /usr /var" for PARTITION in ${PARTITIONS} do clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscan ${PARTITION} >/dev/null 2>&1 done <<<<< Much easier to change where the output is directed now :) If you simply want to scan all disk partitions replace the second line with: PARTITIONS=`df -lP | grep ^/` That will list all the mounted disk partitions that are local to the host in question. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.
