Hello,

for an internal mail-relay i do not need the Virus-Checks with Clamav.
and i save some memory.

So i just disabled this service with:
# systemctl disable clamav-daemon.service

But after an hour the clamav-daemon starts again :(

i'm wrong with my solution?
any suggestions?

(i've installed pmg in LXC)

thanks a lot
 
Hi,

you can try to disable the ClamAV checks for pmg:
Code: 
pmgsh set /config/admin --clamav 0
pmgconfig sync --restart 1

sorry:

after the "pmg-hourly.service"-run at 10:00 the clamavd starts again

I'll try to reproduce that - In the meantime - make sure that the clamav-freshclam service is disabled as well!
 
took a quick look at the code - (re)moving the clamav-configs should prevent the pmg stack from starting clamav - please verify!
Thanks!
 
The clamav config is in /etc/clamav/clamd.conf and freshclam.conf

I have not tried to remove it in order to check if this indeed does disable clamav from starting

masking the clamav-daemon and clamav-freshclam services should work:
Code: 
systemctl mask clamav-daemon.service clamav-freshclam.service

Hello Guys,
After few days of testing ,
I can say that the following solution which is :
Code: 
systemctl mask clamav-daemon.service clamav-freshclam.service
Does work as expected.
I can see this case as solved.

Best Regards ,
