Freshclam update logging problems

[Miguel Koren O'Brien de Lacy]

I think I discovered why clam-update.log only shows updates once in a 
while. What happens is that even though freshclam is running, so is the 
Mailscanner cron job to update Clam. Since the frequency of the 
Mailscanner update is much greater (per hour) than I set freshclam 
(every 12 hours), when freshcalm does run, it finds the database already 
updated and does nothing. It's very unsual for it to be the first and in 
those cases Mailscanner logs that the database is up to date. That 
explains the discrepancies between the logs on the 3 servers we run this 
way.

I hope this helps someone that runs into this "problem".

Miguel
