clamav not scan using script .

gardenair · 11-17-2015, 02:15 AM

hi,
I have install ClamAV in my CentOS 6. I want that the anti virus should scan the system automatically . for that purpose

Code:

# service clamd start

then

Code:

vi /etc/cron.daily/daily_scan

Add the script in

Code:

SCAN_DIR="/"
LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/daily_scan.log"
/usr/bin/clamscan -i -r $SCAN_DIR >> $LOG_FILE

Made it executable

Code:

# chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/daily_scan
# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 113 Nov 17 12:10 daily_scan

I then add the file by

Code:

#  crontab -e 
45:8  * * * /etc/cron.daily/daily_scan

Just for own test I write it on terminal it show me

Code:

# /etc/cron.daily/daily_scan
/etc/cron.daily/daily_scan:line 4: var/log/clamav/daily_scan.log: No such file or directory

please guide me how can I fix it,I have review it many times but same message.please guide me.

probably there is no directory /var/log/clamav

Well there is already a directory.i.e clamav.
See the attachment herewith.

in your first post there is a missing slash:
/etc/cron.daily/daily_scan:line 4: /var/log/clamav/daily_scan.log: No such file or directory
Why?

gardenair · 11-17-2015, 03:37 AM

yes this a linux output command which it show me,there is no clash with var dir.

pan64 · 11-17-2015, 04:07 AM

that means that / is missing and you need to fix that.

gardenair · 11-18-2015, 04:24 AM

Well I have fix the issue. One thing more i want to add that Is it possible in the script that if found a virus then e-mail at the address for example foo@gmail.com ?

pan64 · 11-18-2015, 04:34 AM

I do not really understand that question.
How did you fix it?

Well my objective was to test the script ,the previous was not work on my vmware workrstaion,Well i did it on another non production server for my testing.The same things (script) works fine in it with out any problem.
Now I want to add more things in my script that is it possible that there should be a date stemp inside the summary?Following is the summary of my Clamav produced automatically by the system .

Code:

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 4106103
Engine version: 0.98.7
Scanned directories: 17968
Scanned files: 212007
Infected files: 0
Total errors: 3881
Data scanned: 9524.85 MB
Data read: 11547.87 MB (ratio 0.82:1)
Time: 4748.013 sec (79 m 8 s)

I need this type of summary.I just write Date and Time manually to show you.What more should I add in the script for the following output

Code:

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
