Did that myself, and it works quite well. *Much* faster than clamscan 
 alone.

However, I wonder if there's a cheaper (in terms of system calls etc) 
 method of checking if clamd is already running than what I do now:
-------
ps ax | grep -v grep | grep clamd 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null \
 || /usr/local/bin/clamd -c /etc/clamav.conf

$ClamScan $ExtraScanOptions $ScanOptions "$@"
-------

According to clamd(8) it should be doable with `clamd PING`, however, 
 that doesn't do anything at all.

cheers,
