The output from InoDist is logged into /opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/log/DistLog/<timestamp>.txt

If no update is necessary, the log file ends with:
  2003/08/08 20:01:04,0,root,0,Downloading the list of signature files.
  2003/08/08 20:01:08,0,root,0,Finished download process successfully.

If an update IS performed, it ends like this:
  2003/08/08 17:06:02,0,root,0,Downloading the list of signature files.
  2003/08/08 17:06:04,0,root,0,Finished download process successfully.
  2003/08/08 17:06:04,0,root,0,Launching the updating process /opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/scripts/InoUnloadUpdate.sh /opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/Incoming/fi_Linux_i386.tar fi_Linux_i386.tar.
  2003/08/08 17:06:05,0,root,0,Succeeded updating InoculateIT engine to version 23.62.19

Every time InoDist runs, a new logfile is created, but you can't easily anticipate the filename.
Perhaps something like this?

  1) rm -f /opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/log/DistLog/*
  2) do the normal InoDist
  3) mv /opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/log/DistLog/* /opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/log/DistLog/update.log
  4) parse /opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/log/DistLog/update.log looking for 'Succeeded updating' and if found, it was updated, otherwise it wasn't?


A second possibility? Could 'inocmd32 -SIG' be compared pre and post InoDist to see if different?
