[clamav-users] freshclam-sleep doesn't exist in epel8 packages

[khodor barakat]

do you think i should create a freshclam.service with timer and reference the clamav-freshclam.service , also in freshclam.conf the checks by default is set to 12 checks by day and you can change that,

also found this article dated to 2020

not sure if the service was enhanced since 2020 to support sleep , since also in my logs i do see that calls freshclam :"received signal to wake up"

Also look at "man freshclam.conf".

I don't see any facility to randomize the check times, as
freshclam-sleep provides. That's where a systemd timer would be nice, as
it provides a rich set of syntax for random sleeps.
