DESCRIPTION
fsavd
is a scanning daemon for F-Secure Anti-Virus . In the
startup it reads the configuration file (the default configuration
file or the file specified in the command line) in the startup
and starts to listen to connections to the UNIX domain socket
specified in the configuration file. By default,
fsavd
forks
itself into the background.
By default,
fsav
launches
fsavd
automatically if fsavd is not
running. When fsavd is launched by the fsav client, fsavd ter-
minates automatically after 30 seconds of idle time, when no
client has connected to fsavd during that time.
If you want
fsavd
to stay loaded in the memory, start fsavd
using the
<installdir>/etc/fsavd
startup script. It is
recomended that you run fsavd as a non-priviledged user like
fsav. The script can be installed under the
init.d
directory.
