Since I have never seen the clamd daemon crash on any of my servers, I'm not particularly interested in having a program waste resources checking on it every 30 seconds. Besides, why not use daemontools or one of the other existing process monitoring programs? Why do we need a custom one for clam? -- Bowie _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
