I want a way to take an action other than restarting the service if the service dies, because I think that ClamAV will keep dying as long as exim is sending it the same email that caused it to crash in the first place, instead I just want to disable exim from using clamav in it's config file until someone can manually intervene and fix the problem. >=20 > hope that helps. > Gautam --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
