One qmailtoaster server I am responsible of is doing a RAID rebuild

simcontrol to look like this:

:clam=no,spam=no,spam_hits=12

and issuing /var/qmail/bin/simscanmk -g

What keeps me puzzled is that I see the process now and then in top
(eating 90 % CPU at times). No idea what it is doing.

Questions: Can I now just stop clamav with svscan? If it is not
enabled in simcontrol, my toaster shouldn't use it for anything,
right?

Best,
Peter

you can
touch /var/qmail/supervise/clamd/down
service qmail stop
sleep 10
service qmail stat <= make sure all qmail service stop
service qmail start

or if you already installed qtp you can
qmail-spam stop
qmail-clam stop

Also, there was a buggy version of clamav which would eat the cpu. I expect that if you upgrade clamav, you'll be fine.

The clamav-toaster package should really be kept up to date as much as possible. FWIW, a while ago clamav packages past a certain age (and not all that old) quit working entirely. I didn't think that was a good move by the clamav folks, but this shows that it not only can but has happened.
