Upstream developed the rough communication protocol (PING, RELOAD, SHUTDOWN, etc), and they prefer to use it over signals. However, for a third party app, I think that using signals is appropriate. I will put a reload-database target in the init script that clamav-data can use. Does that sound OK? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
