Personally, I use daemontools <http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html>. If a user has more than just clamav running, and I would assume that most of use do, using multiple tools for monitoring these applications is resource wasteful and could easily lead to unintended redundancy. Personally, I have better things to do than monitoring 'X' number of programs which are in turn monitoring another "X" number of applications. I firmly believe that the "KISS" principal applies here. Then again, that is just my 2¢. -- Jerry ✌ clamav.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
