Julian,

Is it possible to also detect if clam is updated ?

Currently i get in the logs:

Apr 29 03:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Found clamav installed
Apr 29 03:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Updating clamav
Apr 29 03:01:01 vmx01 ClamAV-autoupdate[11488]: ClamAV updated
Apr 29 03:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Found f-prot installed
Apr 29 03:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Updating f-prot
Apr 29 03:01:02 vmx01 F-Prot autoupdate[11496]: F-Prot did not need updating.

But in fact Clam isnt updated...Its telling this hourly:

Apr 29 04:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Found clamav installed
Apr 29 04:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Updating clamav
Apr 29 04:01:01 vmx01 ClamAV-autoupdate[13518]: ClamAV updated
Apr 29 04:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Found f-prot installed
Apr 29 04:01:01 vmx01 update.virus.scanners: Updating f-prot
Apr 29 04:01:02 vmx01 F-Prot autoupdate[13526]: F-Prot did not need updating.

Is the script reporting this ok ? Since i think its defaulting to the
'ClamAV updated' all the time, even when its not updated.

I saw in the auto update script of f-prot some checking, but not in the
one for Clam, is it posible to do the same there ?

Bye,
Raymond.
