4.5.2 Configuration File avupdater.conf
This section provides a short description of the settings in
avupdater.conf
. These
settings affect all AntiVir products you have installed on the computer. For this
reason we refer to "AntiVir" in general, instead of just "AntiVir WebGate".
You can learn how to edit this file easily, in Configuration Script – Page 43.
You must restart the Internet Updater, if you modify any values regarding the Internet
Updater manually in
avupdater.conf , instead of using the configuration script. Only after
restart will the changes take effect.
Type:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater restart
EmailTo Email messages:
AntiVir can send emails after performing updates. There is no default setting. You
must specify a recipient, in order to send emails:
EmailTo root@localhost
LogTo Logfile:
AntiVir logs all important operations over the
syslog
daemon. There is no default
setting. You must enter the full path to the logfile, in order to use this option:
LogTo /var/log/avupdater.log
AutoUpdate... Update scheduler:
The security software can check regularly for updates online using the Internet
Updater and, if necessary, it performs the update. By default, the possible options
are deactivated, for security reasons; so the program starts
no automatic updates.
For updates at every 2 hours, you must activate the following option:
AutoUpdateEvery2Hours
For daily updates, activate the option below:
AutoUpdateDaily
In case of daily updates, you may also set the time for this action, in HH:MM
format:
AutoUpdateTime 04:23
HTTPProxy... Proxy server:
If your computer is connected to the Internet via an HTTP proxy server, you must
specify this, so that the automatic Internet Updater functions properly.
These entries must not be confused with those from
avwebgate.conf
. The settings made
in avupdater.conf influence only the Internet connection for automatic updates, not
specific WebGate settings.
By default, the settings are deactivated; a direct connection to Internet is assumed.
You must specify:
