ClamAV with WHM and Centos 5.8

osmy · 05-04-2012, 04:10 AM

Hello I installed ClamAv via WHM. Everything is working great on command line. But I want to run cronjob to update virus database daily with freshclam command and scan entire dedicated server everyday(mails,wws,ftps,/home etc.) on midnight(low load) for removing security threats and viruses on server. I will run crons on root. Please help me to create cronjob for virus db update and daily virus scan and remove for entire server.

I appreciate!

Thanks

you do know that ClamAV dose not remove them , right?
It only informs you about them

Are there any "SELinuxTroubleShooter" errors ?
what are the file/folder permissions ?
how exactly ARE you setting up the cron job ?

What you think?

0 4 * * * /usr/bin/freshclam; clamdscan --move=/var/quarantine/ -v /home

0 4 * * * /usr/bin/freshclam; clamdscan --remove -v /home

freshclam needs to run as root
so how did you set up the cron job ?
