clamav-server sets things up very nicely, but there's one thing that's
apparently missing, and that's user notifications from anything except on-
demand scans. /opt/local/bin/ClamavScanIt.sh uses osascript to notify the
user when something is found. It would be very helpful if this also
happened for on demand scans, which as far as I can tell it does not (and
scheduled as well, which I assume have the same issue).
If it's supposed to happen, then maybe there's just a bug. If it is not,
it would be great to add that feature. I've thought about how to do this,
and the only approach I've found is for a VirusEvent to write to a file
someplace, and then to create a LaunchAgent, which has access to the GUI,
and monitor for the files created by the VirusEvent and turns them into
notifications (using the same mechanism as ClamavScanIt.sh). This seems a
bit cumbersome, so if anyone has any cleaner ideas, that'd be even better.
macports 2.10.0, macOS 14.5, clamav 1.3.1, clamav-server 1.2.1 (default
variants)
