Hi,

I would like to redirect the output of clamscan to the journal, which should by possible by

/usr/bin/clamscan -r /root/ 2>&1 | /usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan"

or

/usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan" /usr/bin/clamscan -r /root/

While both commands work when executed manually in the terminal, the output is not redirected when executed by a cronjob. If I put the following line into the file /etc/cron.d/clamav

* * * * * root /usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan" /usr/bin/clamscan -r /root/

I can see that the clamscan process is started every minute, but the output is not redirected to the journal.

If I put the line

* * * * * root /usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan" ls /root/

Into the file /etc/cron.d/clamav, it is executed every minute as well and I can see the output of ls in the journal.

Do you have any idea what could be causing the issue?

Best regards,
Jens
