[clamav-users] importing the main.cvd file manually

[Eric Tykwinski]

If I was going to do it, I’d probably run an Ansible playbook to upload the file and reload the databases.

To reload the database, it’s just clamdscan –reload –config-file=/….

Subject: [clamav-users] importing the main.cvd file manually

 

Hello,

 

I would like to manually import the virus definition file on a set of computers. These computers block outbound http requests and I'm not currently running an http proxy and I'd rather not set one up just for this purpose. It seems straightforward to automate the process of downloading the virus definition files and pushing them to these computers, but then I imagine I need to configure the computers to import the definition. 

 

Is there a command that needs to be run to import the virus defintions?

 

If you'd like to earn points on askubuntu this question is also at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1046700/how-do-i-manually-import-the-clamav-virus-definition-file

 

Thanks,

Greg
