But as soon as another process with a higher priority needs cputime, clamscan will lost it. To use nice command, nice -n 15 clamscan & clamscan -ir /Īs long as no other process requires cputime, clamscan will maximize it. cpulimit limits absolute cpu time, and nice lowers the priority of clamscan (limits relative cpu time). To limit the clamscan CPU time to certain levels, you can use two tools nice and cpulimit commands. The following are the exit return codes for ClamAV.īefore we can wrap up this tutorial, it is good to understand that clamscan can be CPU intensive. The asterisk marks the default internal setting for a given option.įor a comprehensive list of options, check the clamscan man pages man clamscan ClamAV Return Codes If they get called without the boolean argument the scanner will assume ‘yes’. Options marked with can be optionally followed by =yes or =no. Note that most of the options are simple switches which enable or disable some features. # clamscan -r -copy=/home/USER/VIRUS /home/ Directory must be writable for the user or unprivileged user running clamscan. # clamscan -r -move=/home/USER/VIRUS /home/ -copy=DIRECTORYĬopy infected files into DIRECTORY. # clamscan -r -remove /home/USER -move=DIRECTORY Be careful as this removes file completely. # clamscan -r -remove / -f FILE, -file-list=FILE
All the subdirectories in the given directory will be scanned. # clamscan -d /tmp/newclamdb -r /tmp -l FILE, -log=FILE Load virus database from FILE or load all virus database files from DIR. # clamscan -r -bell -i /home -d FILE/DIR, -database=FILE/DIR
# clamscan -i /home/ -o, -suppress-ok-results # clamscan -no-summary /home/ -i, -infected # clamscan -V ClamAV 0.100.1/25021/Tue Oct 9 15:52:08 2018 -no-summaryĭo not display summary at the end of scanning. Some of the clamscan command options and their example usage is illustrated below -h, -help

This is what I had to do to get clam working, perhaps a glitch for both clamtk and clamav (problem with both).Apt install clamav clamav-daemon -y Update the ClamAV Singature Database If -y causes issues then exclude and manually press y key when prompted. y is the same thing as saying yes to installing all dependencies for package. Click scan and a progress box will appear.įinal Note: typing the phrase clamav -help gives some hints.For system scan, I toggled the entire system (not just /root or /usr). toggle desired directory you want scanned.You should now see updated definition count toggle "automatic" update option and click apply and "back".toggle "manual" update option and click apply and "back".toggle / reselect "No Proxy" (to gray out #1 above).Toggle all options beneath settings tab "Network"
