We are also announcing a new Long Term Support (LTS) program today in an update to our End-of-Life (EOL) policy.
Remember that you can display all the options of the CLI tool with: clamscan -helpĭon't forget as well to check the official website for more information about how to use this CLI tool.ClamAV 0.104.0 is available as an official release as of today. You can simply change the content of the file with the directories that you want to scan and that's it. The content of specific_directories.txt will be in our case: /opt/directory1 You can scan multiple directories in the same command specifying a list with the directories (in a txt file): clamscan -r -i -bell -file-list=/home/vagrant/specific_directories.txt
A lot of system admins may want to skip the directory, so just exclude it from the scan command with the -exclude-dir option: clamscan -r -i ––exclude-dir="^/sys" -bell / D. It isn't only for managing devices, though that's a common use case. Writing to these files may or may not write to the actual device, depending on the setting you're changing.

This will take a while until it starts to initialize and then it will print line by line the scanned files and the status (OK). Scanning the whole system (verbose and non verbose)Ĭlamscan accepts as argument the path of the path to scan, so if you want to scan the entire system, provide the root directory as argument with the -r option that allows to scan subdirectories recursively as well: clamscan -r / We will share with you the most used commands by the community and that we know, you may need often: A.
