F-Prot Autoupdate

[David Woodfield]

Hi, fairly new to this but this is what I have done and it's working
perfectly. I have placed this in the cron.daily directory.

#!/bin/bash

/path/to/f-prot/autoupdate
exit 0

the latest definitions are for the 1st of October, and I would advise
updating it as our system is being hammered by the new W32/Bugbear.A at mm
worm. It started yesterday and has been building every since.

God bless you Julian :)

Kind regards,

It does not appear to work.  I just looked at the dates and even though
new
definitions came out on the 30th mine are still dated the 23rd.  Any
idea
what is wrong?
