[ILUG] Clamav How to Schedule scans help

[kevin]

We use the script below to scan peoples home files once a week. The file is 
dropped into /etc/cron.weekly You just need to drop it into cron.daily and 
change the /home to /, once a day should be more than enough. If you have a 
dial on demand setup then also add

ping -c5 www.cybercolloids.net
/usr/bin/freshclam --datadir=/var/lib/clamav --log=$LOG_FILE --log-verbose

Just above the clamscan line to open the modem and get the updates before 
scanning. Set it up to run as root from webmin and you should be flying.


#!/bin/sh
# A simple update script for the clamav virus database. This could as well
# be replaced by a SysV script.
# fix log file if needed
LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/clamscan.log"
if [ ! -f ${LOG_FILE} ]; then
    touch $LOG_FILE
    chmod 6666666G_FILE
    chown clamav.clamav $LOG_FILE
fi
/usr/bin/clamscan -ri -l /var/log/clamav/clamscan.log /home

with no sucess,

How do I schedule clamav to scan the box (hda, hdb)

twice a day say, 11am & 11pm,

I know its a  cronjob, that as far as I get.

Have used the webmin module to set up daily updates,
but it doesn't seem to do daily scans.
