Micah, I did not pay attention to this parameter. Thank you for discovering it, Zvi On 1/5/2021 3:53 AM, Micah Snyder (micasnyd) via clamav-users wrote: Zvi,   Yes, clamscan has a --max-scantime=#n option, which is measured in milliseconds.  Clamscan will check the time limit periodically and abort the scan if the time limit has been exceeded.  There is a similar config option for clamd in clamd.conf.   Disclaimer: the limit is not precise as clamscan may be busy decompressing or parsing a file in between checks.  It’s useful mostly when scanning large archives and such to abort partway through a long scan.   Ideally it would monitor the scan in a watchdog process or something so it could abort the scan more precisely but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.   Regards, Micah   From: clamav-users <clamav-users-boun...@lists.clamav.net> On Behalf Of Zvi Kave via clamav-users Sent: Monday, December 28, 2020 8:04 AM To: clamav-users@lists.clamav.net Cc: Zvi Kave <zvi.k...@gmail.com> Subject: [clamav-users] Terminate clamscan after specific time   Hi, Is there a way to Terminate clamscan after specific time with summary ?
