Hi,

I need to send individual files to scan, because I check them before sending to clamd -CONSTSCAN [folder] is not an option-.

With that scheme, I need a session communication opened to clamd.

I also need the CONTSCAN command, which I cannot send in a session.

If I use CONTSCAN the connection will be closed after scanning every single file.

If I use a pool of socket connections to clamd and I scan 500 files, 500 connections will be opened and closed.

Again my question: why does clamd closes the socket?

Thank you

Jorge

That's correct.

It's tidier than leaving it open and doing nothing with it. I don't
remember anyone asking this question before. AFAIK it's always been
this way.

I'm not sure that I understand the question. Is it a problem to open
a connection to clamd?

Sometimes I run several copies of clamd, all using different configs
and of course listening to different sockets. Might that be an option
for you?
