No it's not in the manpage, the procedure depends on what you have installed alongside clamd, clamdmon is obvious, some script that downloads third party databases probably, perhaps something else. > I also can't find any information on how to use this clamdmon and > there is no man page for it. Clamdmon is a program and a script, you are receiving the email that the script sends (from cron) when it detects a problem. The script also tries to restart clamd, so first thing is to check if clamd is running (the script was successful restarting clamd), if not then you should look into the clamd log and see, at the end, if an error is reported; perhaps that will give you enough clues to determine what is wrong. If clamd still can't start, then you probably have to move out of the way each of the 3rd party databases, and see which one is the cause of the problem. - -- René Berber -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Cygwin) iD8DBQFHIFcTL3NNweKTRgwRCBGrAKDHqxr/i4XEXkFirlRPHEuy+TCOVACfahtV f6Cpv/+35P1g6VgW/CT2RiE= =maL2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
