Yes it is configured correctly. DatabaseDirectory = "/var/lib/clamav" On startup, the logfile says: ******************************* Mon Jan 14 10:59:09 2008 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav Mon Jan 14 10:59:11 2008 -> Loaded 219958 signatures. Mon Jan 14 10:59:11 2008 -> Unix socket file /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl ... Mon Jan 14 10:59:11 2008 -> Self checking every 300 seconds. ******************************* But then: Nothing, no SelfCheck logged :-( until scamp.sh notifies clamd of a successful Patterndownload, then clamd reloads its Database: ******************************* Mon Jan 14 11:30:11 2008 -> No stats for Database check - forcing reload Mon Jan 14 11:30:12 2008 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav Mon Jan 14 11:30:14 2008 -> Database correctly reloaded (219961 signatures) ******************************* No other entries in clamav.log since 10:59:11 ... Menawhile i added "NotifyClamd" to freshclam.conf, so freshclam will hopefully notify clamd too, but there is no logged SelfCheck of clamd itself. If the database Path would be wrong, clamd would have told me so in his logfile. Any other ideas? BTW: On one of my other servers, SelfCheck does strange things too. Even if it is configured to do Selfcheck each 300 secs, it does what it wants: Mon Jan 14 10:08:45 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 10:15:20 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 10:23:16 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 10:32:27 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 10:50:36 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 11:00:22 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 11:11:00 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 11:18:08 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 11:29:53 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Mon Jan 14 11:37:01 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. This is on debian/4.0 On a FreeBSD Machine, it checks exactly each 300 secs: Jan 14 11:02:21 scan1 clamd[557]: SelfCheck: Database status OK. Jan 14 11:07:22 scan1 clamd[557]: SelfCheck: Database status OK. Jan 14 11:12:23 scan1 clamd[557]: SelfCheck: Database status OK. Jan 14 11:17:24 scan1 clamd[557]: SelfCheck: Database status OK. Jan 14 11:22:25 scan1 clamd[557]: SelfCheck: Database status OK. Jan 14 11:27:26 scan1 clamd[557]: SelfCheck: Database status OK. Jan 14 11:32:27 scan1 clamd[557]: SelfCheck: Database status OK.
