Hi Chaitanya, You can send the SHUTDOWN command to terminate clamd, Other than that, once the scanning engine is passed a scan request, it needs to complete so that system resources are properly released. There also some clamd configuration parameters to limit the amount of scanning (see MaxScansize, MaxFilesize, MaxFiles, MaxRecursion). These may reduce the amount of resources.
Hope this helps, Steve _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
