freshclam using the --daemon-notify switch

I have a question I hope someone can confirm for me: if I have ClamAV (from http://w32.clamav.net) running as a Windows service, and
I run freshclam using the --daemon-notify switch, will it cause clamd to reload with any new 3rd-party sig files in the /data/
directory, such as .NBD files?

When I run freshclam with that switch, it shows itself checking the main sig files (daily.cvd and main.cvd), but it doesn't say
anything about the other .NBD or .HDB sig files that I have in my /data/ directory. I want to make sure that these are being
reloaded into clamd too.

Cheers,
Jeremy

While I don't know the answer to your (very good) question, if you don't get
a reply you can investigate this yourself with a free tool called filemon
from Microsoft (formerly from sysinternals)

Re: freshclam using the --daemon-notify switch [In reply to]

Thanks for the tip! I just downloaded and ran filemon, and it certainly shows lots of activity for my 3rd-party .NBD files whenever
I run freshclam with the --daemon-notify switch. So I guess that means it is successfully detecting and reloading those sig files
too.

Cheers,
Jeremy
