Subject: call of scan does not return
Solaris 2.7 Perl 5.8.4 File-Scan-ClamAv-1.8 The perl scipt I use to call scan has hung about 6 times over the past month. I wasn't sure where it was hanging so I added several areas to log so I could see where it was hanging. It finally did it again today and found the last log entry was "BEFORE AV scanning". Which tells me the scan is not returning for the perl script to continue. I know I'm not giving you anything for you to look at. I'm just reporting it to see if you have any suggestions for me. Thanks. I call it like this. <snip> &Log("BEFORE AV scanning\n"); my ($file,$virus)= $av->scan($msg); &Log("AFTER AV scanning\n"); <snip> I never saw the "AFTER AV scanning", so I must assume it's not returning from the scan. Thanks for any input.
Is this still an issue?
Closing as cannot reproduce. There are many reasons why a scan might hang, anything from a bug in clamav itself to potentially a dying hard drive causing super slow disk access. Ultimately, in the future, a scan should automatically timeout if nothing is happening, see wish list item https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=50912
