[path]
is the optional Sun Solaris path that defines the location to
be checked.
The meaning of
path
in the Daemon command line differs from that
of the Scanner program. For the scanner this setting defines the
location to be checked for viruses, but for Daemon it assigns the
path
value to the list of locations enabled to be checked (i.e. to the
Object
parameter of the profile). The objects to be checked are
defined by the switch
-o
in the command line (see
below).
The list of available switches includes those described for Scanner (see
Appendix B), except for the switches
-D
and
-@!
. Besides, there are several
command line switches that are specific to the daemon process:
-q
terminates the performance right after the check and disinfecting is
completed without starting the daemon process. This switch is used
only if the daemon process is not started yet.
-k
kills the parent daemon process. This switch is not recommended.
-ka
kills all daemon processes running (the parent process as well as the
child processes).
-v
displays the version number.
-o{the list of files, directories or symbolic links separated by colons}
checks the defined files, directories and links. If the objects are not
located in the check-permitted area, they will be ignored.
-f=directoryname
creates and stores the files AvpCtl and AvpPid in the defined directory.
If you do not start Daemon from under the
root
user, the program may
be prohibited from accessing the default directory for these files. In this
case every time you start Daemon, make sure to use the switch
-f
.
-WU[=temporaryfilename]
the temporary file for the daemon process to log check-results.
