F-Secure Security Platform daemon

options
DESCRIPTION
fsavd
is a scanning daemon for F-Secure Security Platform . 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 spec-
ified 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 terminates 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
<install-
dir>/etc/fsavd
startup script. It is recomended that you run fsavd as a non-priv-
iledged user like fsav. The script can be installed under the
init.d
directory.
OPTIONS
fsavd reads option values from the policy / configuration file and from the command
line. Options given from the command line override the policy / configuration file set-
tings.
Default options or policy / configuration file options can be overridden from the com-
mand line with the following command line options:
--config={file[:PATH]|fsma[:OID]}
