Hi Reindl Harald

Yes, I usually verify after running any command. So yes  verified the
process is properly killed. I even rebooted it couple time. Even after a
clean reboot, the output of clamd status gives the same error. What is the
output of your clamd status? Can you share it please?

Thanks
Kishore

and did you verify that after kill the process is really gone?

maybe it needs a "kill -s SIGKILL" instead a SIGTERM for whatever reason
but that's all hard to say since you don't provide much informations
without beeing explicit asked
