Re: [vps-mail] ClamAV Warning

[Abigail Marshall <abigail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JO> Hello again all,

JO> This is what I have in my cron:

JO> ## run freshclam twice daily
JO> 0 2,8,14,20 * * * root /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -l
JO> /var/log/clam-update.log --daemon-notify=/usr/local/etc/clamav.conf

Did you do the upgrade?

My crontab entry looks like this & is working fine:

## run freshclam twice daily
2 */12 * * * clamav /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet

JO> Those of you who do use the freshclam to update automatically may wish to

JO> Using the same command from cron manually there is no problem connecting.
