[clamav-users] Using clamscan with multiple cores

[Arnaud Jacques / SecuriteInfo.com]

Hello,

ls -d bin/* |parallel clamscan --no-sumary {} >yourlogfile.txt works fine.

Anyway, this is time consuming and require a huge RAM. Because on a 8 thread 
CPU, 8 instance of clamscan will be run. So it will load 8 instance of 
signature databases into RAM.

The best settings I use in my script is :

ls -d bin/* |parallel clamdscan -m --no-summary {} >yourlogfile.txt

As far as I know, it is faster than clamdscan -m bin/*
