12.3.1. Updating via the Internet
To retrieve new virus-definition databases from an FTP or a web
server,
launch the program with the command line switch
–uik
:
./kavupdater -uik=server_and_path
The program retrieves databases and copies them to the database direc-
tory.
For example,
./kavupdater -uik=http://www.kasperskylab.com/updates
To upgrade the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for xBSD Mail Server
components from an FTP or a web server,
launch the program with the command line switch
–uip
:
./kavupdater -uip=server_and_path
The program also allows you to retrieve upgrades without the subsequent
auto-upgrading.
