[clamav-users] Locked freshclam.log error msg

[Kevin Lin]

Have you tried to query what process is locking the log file?

It is possible that multiple freshclam instances are running at the same
time, especially if an instance of freshclam is running as a daemon.

On Linux, you can use a command such as "lsof | grep freshclam.log" to
identify what process is locking a freshclam.log.
