Hello, starting from the 0.96.2 release, our source tarball includes a script to automatically restart clamd in case the daemon crashes.
The script is currently placed in the contrib/ directory. Latest version is always available from: http://git.clamav.net/gitweb?p=clamav-devel.git;a=blob_plain;f=contrib/safe_clamd/safe_clamd We would like to make this script the preferred version to start clamd, just like other OSS projects do (e.g. asterisk, mysql). Before we do, we would like to receive more feedback on this script. If you haven't tried it yet, we kindly ask you that you give it a try and report any problems through our bugzilla.
