Thanks (like the last email appreciate the response and sorry for the delay, been away).
on working machines - all installed identically 16.04, via salt the command returns: ssh scan01.example.com "systemctl list-units | grep clam" clamav-daemon.service loaded active running Clam AntiVirus userspace daemon clamav-freshclam.service loaded active running ClamAV virus database updater clamav-daemon.socket loaded active running Socket for Clam AntiVirus userspace daemon on the version i started manually it contains: systemctl list-units | grep clam clamav-freshclam.service loaded active running ClamAV virus database updater clamav-daemon.socket loaded active listening Socket for Clam AntiVirus userspace daemon On both working machines and the one that is not the second command only yields the following for clam ├─clamav-freshclam.service │ └─29618 /usr/bin/freshclam -d --foreground=true even though ps -aux | grep clam shows clamav 4507 3.0 2.3 601100 393872 ? Ssl 12:59 0:08 /usr/sbin/clamd --foreground=true --config-file=/etc/clamav/clamd.conf our config locations for the .service files are in slightly different areas, so do you mind saying what distro you're running, for the moment, i'm going to keep it running via commands since this is just a staging machine. And also how you stop and start the daemons, i see they are built to restart in your configuration, i need to track down what could possibly be different in the config files of 3 of 4 machines. As stated above i used these for realtime upload scanning that will block until i get a result and i put them on a port due to the desire to load balance them via HAProxy, which works great ( i check local first, no need to stream a 25M file if localhost is listening) Again thank you for you time!
