[clamav-users] is there a kill signal to have freshclam do an update check?

Yes thanks, I was already trying with this command

kill -s SIGUSR1 $(pidof freshclam)

However it gets the wrong pid from the container environment where I have these processes listed

clam     4051769 4051758  0 16:27 ?        00:00:00 [freshclam] <defunct>
clam     4051770       1  0 16:27 ?        00:00:04 freshclam -d

If I start freshclam -d in the docker testing environment I do not have this first proces '[freshclam] <defunct>'. Any idea what this can be?
