freshclam AV stops updating on my ReadyNAS

Just FYI re WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory

Subsequent to the update (quoted below) I have discovered that "/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl" was created after I enabled AV so I suspect this isnot a contributer to the AV not updating. 

Freshclam when run from root in an SSH session sems to update AV however the AV seems to stop updating after a period of time.

Hi StephenB 

I checked again today (Feb 16) and the AV has not updated fince Feb 11 so sadly the change TestDatabases=false setting in my /etc/freshclam.conf has failed to rectify or workaround the issue as seen in the log below

 

 

I ran freshclam -v which ran successfully and my AV updated to 59.26081 from 59.26076 though there are some interesting messages highlighted below

Freshclam seems to have disabled the AV and did not re-enable it.  This has not happened in the past.  Any thoughts?

I manually enabled AV successfully as noted belowNow back to the successful running of Freshclam.  These details are noted below.  Nothing unusual execpt for the warning in red text at the end.

I have searched the file system and indeed clamd.ctl does not exist anywhere on the file system.

Any thoughts on the missing clamd.ctl?

 

Cheers Rob
