The change to actually pass through the FC_UPTODATE status code to as the exit code is something that kinda snuck in with a change to provide the details to libfreshclam users.
Another user brought this to my attention a couple months ago and we modified the code to revert the behavior for ClamAV 0.101. For those playing with the 0.101 beta, you should notice that the freshclam exit code is 0 for both SUCCESS and UPTODATE scenarios. https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-devel/commit/d0b738a873cf136f6b012cce04b81ff3afa05df1 Sorry about the confusion.

So UPDATE and SUCCESS actually are much the same. But in this case, the service is interpreting it as a non-zero return code and saying “I don’t know what this means, but I’ll assume its an error” I suppose I could change it and recompile, but now I know what it is, I’ll leave it. Thanks for your help.

Service exited with abnormal code: 1 I’m running freshclam on a Mac with a plist startup file, and although it appears to work at the required intervals, it always drops this error in the system.log "Nov 7 08:46:40 zeus com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.homebrew.freshclam[85799]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1" The odd thing is, it appears to work each time, but then gives this error when it exits. I can not find the reason for this.
