I want to change how I run freshclam on OSX from running as a

freshclam's returning of 1 when no updates were required causes
issues with launchd since it thinks freshclam exited abnormally and
attempts to respawn.
It looks like --on-update-execute=EXIT_0 is almost what you want,
except it's reversed; you want an --on-no-update-execute flag. :-)
On the other hand, freshclam normally uses less than 1MB of RAM, so
I don't see what you are gaining by making changes here. Use
freshclam as a daemon, and have launchd monitor it and restart it if
it ever goes away.

Or you could just run it has a cron task. This is what I do on my
Linux box and have it execute x number of times a day at some offset
from the hour to minimize collision with other users (tends to timeout
if done on the top of the hour)
