Freshclam doesn't start because databases are now updated by cron job
'/etc/cron.d/clamav-update' in 'freshclam.service' file. If cron job
file exists freshclam daemon is not necessary.
Pick one of two options:
1)
vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/clamav-freshclam.service
replace
ConditionPathExists=!/etc/cron.d/clamav-update
with
#ConditionPathExists=!/etc/cron.d/clamav-update
vi /etc/cron.d/clamav-update
replace
0 */3 * * * root /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep > /dev/null
with
#0 */3 * * * root /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep > /dev/null
or
2)
vi /usr/bin/toaststat
replace
for sv in clamd@scan clamav-freshclam spamassassin ... ... ...
with
for sv in clamd@scan spamassassin ... ... ...

Hi Folks,
Any way to resolve this issue clamav-freshclam service?
When I ran the freshclam command, it showed the log without any issue,
but when I ran toaststat it stopped.

Hi Eric,
Am running Centos 7 64 Bit with the Qmailtoaster system. Usually
update through the command line .
I have seen the clamav 102-2.elf version update on my system in
the webmin control panel and updated through the panel.
The freshclam command is running without issue, but when I ran
toaststat clamav-freshclam was stopped and unable to be active and
run.
My output below.

# This option allows you to easily point freshclam to private mirrors.
# If PrivateMirror is set, freshclam does not attempt to use DNS
# to determine whether its databases are out-of-date, instead it will
# use the If-Modified-Since request or directly check the headers
of the
# remote database files. For each database, freshclam first attempts
# to download the CLD file. If that fails, it tries to download the
# CVD file. This option overrides DatabaseMirror, DNSDatabaseInfo
# and ScriptedUpdates. It can be used multiple times to provide
# fall-back mirrors.
