That would be ideal, but it doesn't seem to be happening that way. If I look at my logs, I see "SelfCheck", then "Reading databases", and at that point all scanning stops until the "Database correctly reloaded" message 2 1/2 minutes later. Is there a setting somewhere to allow scanning to continue with the existing child processes while the reload happens? -- Bowie _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
