[clamav-users] Which .conf entry controls freshclam frequency?

[Brian Fluet]

Al,

Thank you for the response.  You are correct that updates only appear 
once per day.  I'm just trying to figure out what tells freshclam to 
check for them every three hours.

Would someone please explain what these settings do?

"Perform a database check" in clamd.conf

"Number of database checks per day" in freshclam.conf

FWIW, I'm using the portable version of ClamAV in conjunction with a 
Mercury mail server.  Mercury has a built-in daemon that uses clamd 
to scan every incoming message.  I am now wondering if there is a 
daemon configuration that is controlling the freshclam frequency.  I 
will look into that.
