According to the clamd man page (and its html docs that come with the
source distribution) clamd should be able to "recognize" the following
commands:
clamd recognizes the following commands:
PING Check the server's state. It should reply with
"PONG".
VERSION
Print a version information.
RELOAD Reload the virus databases.
QUIT Perform a clean exit.
SCAN file/directory
Scan a file or a directory (recursively) with
archive support enabled (if not disabled in
clamd.conf). A full path is required.
RAWSCAN file/directory
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive
support disabled. A full path is required.
CONTSCAN file/directory
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive
support enabled and continue scanning even when
virus is found. A full path is required.
STREAM Scan stream - on this command clamd will return
"PORT number" and you can connect to that port and
send a data to scan.
When I first start clamd and then,
> sudo clamd PING
I don't get a PONG back.
In fact the documented commands don't seem to work at all. What am I
doing wrong?
