Using clamdscan brings up more questions.
clamdscan works pretty well with the option --fdpass.
However, the scan process is still using 98% of one CPU, even if I do
a "sudo renice 19 <clamd pid>".
On a dual core, it leaves a processor free for me to work during the
scan... I'm still looking for a way of running clamd in a more silent
manner.
why do you want your CPU to be idle when it can do the scanning?
at nice level od 19, program only runs when nothing else needs the CPU.
Silly reason... my computer has a very, very noisy fan. At 90% it's
unbearable ! So it's OK for a short burst, but scanning my USB key takes
about 40 mn... few programs (that I use) need resources for such a long
time.
I think I really should solve that fan problem. Probably, all I need is
a PC with a silent cooling !
However, that "problem" made me discover a few more things about Linux.
