[clamav-users] using clamdscan and clamd to do complete file system scan

[John McGowan]

Hi,

I've been banging my head trying to figure this out on my own for the
better part of a day now.  I'm running Amazon Linux, have got the
proper clamav packages installed to have the following stuff working.

* clamd is running
* clamscan runs from the command line
* clamdscan runs from the command line

However, clamdscan doesn't recursively crawl the file system, it only
seems to want to scan a single file.

Before i craft a "find | xargs clamdscan" type of solution for this,
can I just get confirmation that recursive scanning with just
clamdscan is not possible?

I suspect that most people use clamdscan to do "one off" scanning,
(mail servers, etc)

In my use case I want to leverage clamd, so that I can take advantage
of the SysLogging capabilities of clamd, but I'm looking for more of a
traditional daily "scan the entire file system" solution.
