Clamd dies at morning maintenance, Debian Woody (0.60-10, backported)

Sometimes, clamd dies during its morning maintenance. I've not found any rhyme or reason to this, however it's a pain for me as I use exim4 + exiscan, and this will stop delivering mail if it can't talk to its virus scanner. Bugger.

My current workaround: A cron script that checks to see if the socket is writeable, and if not it stops clamd, then starts it again.

  1. cat /etc/cron.d/check-clamd

TESTFILE="/var/run/clamd.ctl"

  • * * * * root [ -w $TESTFILE? || \

    (/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop; \ /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start)

Yeah, I know this isn't the prettiest, but I don't have time to track down why its dying just yet -- DanielLawson
