you are daemonizing a command line call? it's still a command line
scanner. a daemonized uvscan would be one that loads virus defs into
memory, and a message is piped through it... this is how spamc/spamd
works. i guess i dont see what you are gaining by doing this?

see $redundant_scanning ....
if ($redundant_scanning) {
link("$scandir/$wmaildir/new/$file_id","$scandir/$file_id/orig-$file_id"
);
}

reformime will unpack the attachments into that dir... if you have
force_unzip enabled, it will unzip files it can in that dir.
i run uvscan with redundant_scanning and force_unzip both on.
i also have the uvscan SDK for Linux straight from NAI, so if you know
how to "truely" make a daemonized uvscanner, i'd be very interested!
I'm just no good with C... guess i could go with the sophie or trophie
code and adapt it, but i'm also lazy... haha :)
