hi! 3 machines all run this same test script. 2 -i386, 1 x-64bit machine. this line: if find / -mount -type f -mtime -1 -print0 | xargs -0 clamscan -l \ $CLAMDAILY $CLAMEXCLUDES -r --no-summary | cut -d: -f1 > $CHANGEDLOG; \ then the $CHANGEDLOG file... on the 32 bit boxes...oh, probably 220 files. On the 64bit box 177,999 files lol (Centos 64bit w/everything installed)! it seems to me that the system is disregarding "-mtime -1" sure has me puzzled! I have rechecked all of my assigned variables over and over in the cfg file and the syntax of the functions in the functions file that make up the whole "team". I can find nothing remarkable relating to the 64 box's cfg. any suggestions? thx John Rose -- When a man's around a woman wearing leather clothing, His heart starts beating faster...get's weak knees...throat gets dry...thinks irrationally because she smells like a new truck!
