Hello All, When i do a reboot (about once per month) I carefully check all the essential services are running (I especially needed to do this as systemd was, until now, not starting sendmail - a bug that is now fixed).
Clamd will not start after a reboot. A little investigation reveals that
it won't start because it tries to create a pid file
in /var/run/clamd.clamd/ - but /var/run/clamd.clamd/ does not exist.
mkdir /var/run/clamd.clamd && chown clamd:clamd /var/run/clamd.clamd/
will allow the service to be started with no problems.
The next reboot and... poof... /var/run/clamd.clamd/ is gone again!
I have grepped the whole of /etc/* to see if there are any references to
this directory with the only entries being the sensible ones
in /etc/init.d/clamd-wrapper.
In that init script the "stop" stanza does have the following command:
"[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f $lockfile"
but "$lockfile" refers to
lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/clamd.${CLAMD_SERVICE}
There are no other "rm" commands.
So what deletes the /var/run/clamd.clamd/ directory on reboot?
Thanks in advance
Mark
