What is a DIRECTOR?

any directory you want to scan I would like to recommend home so the command line should be




/usr/local/bin/clamdscan --remove /home

you may see other commands by



/usr/local/bin/clamdscan --help

any directory you want to scan I would like to recommend home so the command line should be




So you mean DIRECTORY not DIRECTOR. Its good to be clear especially when we are talking about commands. DIRECTORY and DIRECTOR are not the same words.

Also you mean the real directory should replace DIRECTORY and the word DIRECTORY itself should not be used. Its good to explain these thing to new people. If you read these forums on a regular basis you will see that there are a lot of new admins who will take your commands literally.
