The best thing to do is to download the script, put it somewhere where the user that will run it (possibly "clamav") has read + execute access, (I created a /home/clamav/ directory) and then try running it manually first. If it works it will download the extra files need by Clamav for the spam and phishing sigs. If the manual run works without errors, then add it to your (root's) crontab (unless you want to put in cron.daily). # crontab -e [puts you into your default editor - in my case vim - if you have vim too do the following - otherwise you'll have to find out how your editor works] i [to go into insert mode] 17 2 * * * /home/clamav/update_sanesecurity.sh [this creates a cron job that will run at 17 minutes past 2 every night] press Escape and then :wq [ie colon then w(rite) and q(uit) - this saves the crontab file] You should now be all set to receive daily SaneSecurity updates...
