Is this what you're looking for?: "The ClamAV distribution includes a script to allow us to start clamd every time the system boots. The script is under the contrib/init/RedHat/ directory, after the distribution's tar file is extracted. We need to copy this file to the /etc/init.d/ directory. cp /usr/local/src/clamav-#.##.#/contrib/init/RedHat/clamd/ etc/init.d/ (Change the #.##.# in the copy command above accordingly.) Now we'll make the script executable, and add it to the list of start-up services: chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/clamd chkconfig --add clamd" www.freespamfilter.org -RoNNY _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
