[clamav-users] PR: Removing PidFile

[Paul Kosinski]

I agree. I don't run ClamAV from systemd, and I wouldn't be pleased to
have to spend time changing my scripts "just because".

P.S. I do run other things from systemd -- if the OS set them up that
way -- and I do appreciate the parallelism: it saves a few minutes of
start-up time when I reboot every month or twelve. Now if only the
systemd config files weren't scattered among so many directories (with
symlinks thrown in for good measure).
