Explanation of numbers at start of line: "man 5 crontab" Thanks Keith, I do like to see and know what I am doing, so this helps a lot. I did try clamTK, but I couldn't see what the results were and also a weirdo on my system when I ran it from the command line is that all the 'help' pop-ups were white on white. It doesn't seem to have put an entry in the crontab file, so I don't know where it is managing it from.

I use it you do the scan but also check for updates prior to doing the scan It is a long time since I used KDE but I do seem to remember there was a program called kscheduler, which links to cron, could you use that?

[Dorset] Kubuntu, clamav, and daily cron job
I want to set up clamav to scan every day at 09:30 on my Kubuntu 18.04 system. The instructions that I have found say to put the following as a root cronjob. |30 01 * * * /usr/bin/freshclam --quiet; /usr/bin/clamscan --recursive --no-summary --infected / 2>/dev/null | Other instructions that I found say to use the system settings to do it, but I cannot find where it says. There is a place in Startup but I don't think that is it. Does it have to be done 'manually'? Also what are the bits at the beginning '30 01 * * *'? I can't find an explanation of those. Thanks for help.
