I am trying to run clamav from rc.local so it happens whenever I power on and/or reboot. Script fails as though it can't open anything. Running the script as root works like a champ. Am I mistaken in thinking that I can run any *.sh file in ~root in rc.local and it will be run as root (meaning no permission problems). Line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local: /root/virus-scan.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 Summary of version in ~root/virus-scan.sh #!/bin/sh COMMON_DIRS="/home /tmp" # skipping all /bin /sbin et al for this test /usr/bin/clamscan -ri $COMMON_DIRS --log="/var/log/clamscan.log" Contents of log show /home as "can't open" and certain files in /tmp as "Permission denied" Searching the web found only one forum that had a "doesn't work in rc.local, works if run as root command shell" but there is no answer to it. All the other links show different rc.local problems such as "isn't being run" and I can verify that my rc.local is being run I have a call to "freshclam -d -c 2 -l /var/log/clam-update.log" that is working (though I keep getting out-of-date notice followed by up-to-date output when actually checking --- I'm trying to sort this out on clamav / Fedora man pages) Thanks in advance for any help (and let me know if I need to provide any more info) Paul -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
