Topic: Clam AV Updates

[cyberwatcher]

I would like to schedule ClamAV updates to only once a day at a specific time. Can someone please tell me where I can make this edit from within the server.

Thanks.

Here are all the clam db settings http://wiki.contribs.org/DB_Variables_Configuration#Clam_AntiVirus_.28clamav.29

To change freshclam to once a day is easy, you need to change this setting:

Code: [Select]

config setprop clamav Checks 1
signal-event clamav-update
Dictating what time it will execute isn't that easy.  You will have to create a custom template to do that.

Is there a specific reason to do so? IMHO you can not receive an update soon enough.

AFAIK that means once an hour, to do a daily check I think you need to supply 24, which is the default I believe.

I've been "playing around" with the Checks property a few months ago and AFAIK Checks 1 means once every 24 hours. Checks 24 means every hour. BTW, you can't set it to a value of 0.
