So I have Clam setup in network mode. On the server I have the VirusEvent line in the clamd.conf file uncommented and in place of the example I have it set to run a script which is supposed to grab the last line of the clamd.log file add that to a text file which is then emailed to us. I can run the script manually with no problems and during my initial testing the VirusEvent was working correctly.
Starting two days ago the email stopped being sent when a virus was found when I was running tests. Saw the "fork failed" error and after some troubleshooting which did not reveal anything I tried rebooting the server. After the server came back up VirusEvent started working so I chalked it up to the server just needing a reboot. Yesterday same thing started to happen, during testing I realized that the emails were not being sent. Checked the logs on the server and saw the "fork failed" error again, tried another reboot but this time that has not worked. I have found two other threads in this mailing list with the same error, but neither has any solutions to the problem. I know this setup can work I'm just stuck on why this error keeps popping up. Is there anything I can do to get more information from Clam about what is happening to hopefully point me to a solution? _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
