I have a mailscanner installed from a bassi pkg on a testing box. Now Iam modifying the pack but the update doesnt work for me. So now i want to add this line into a cronjob to run it once a day or so.

How do i add this line into a cron:

perl /usr/local/f-prot/autoupdate

and so that is run as root.

Thanks !!

I'm not using bassi pkg but I think that creating a symlink to the script should work.

As root do the following:

cd /etc/cron.daily/
ln -s /usr/local/f-prot/autoupdate AVupdate
chmod 755 AVupdate

to verify it type
./AVupdate

Yeah i have done that but this av-files arent updated as it should be.....

strange.

search the archives or pm me.

Since i expect others will be intrested in this as well i'd rather continue the thread here ;)

The links are not mentioned on WHT so a search won't give any useable results, i did find them at www.jiscmail.co.uk, thats probaly what you ment.

I would love to hear any experiences you and others have with these packages.

Thanks !

I prefer the manual installation of Mailscanner instead of the pkg.
The pkg uses mailscanner 3.21-1 while the latest version of mailscanner is 3.22-14.
I've followed the instruction available at uk2raq.com: http://www.uk2raq.com/raqfaq/raqfaqshow.php?faq=96

Just be sure to change where there's written mailscanner-3.20-5.i386.rpm to mailscanner-3.22-14.i386.rpm

There's also available a script that downloads the definition files for f-prot only if they are newer than your current ones.
