Kaspersky Lab kaspersky anti-virus 5.5 for proxy server Mode D'Emploi

 

Task: Configure the application to update automatically your anti-virus 
databases every hour. An update server should be selected from the 
updcfg.xml file by default. Only errors occurring in the component 
operation should be recorded in the system log. Keep a general log of 
all task starts. Output no information to the console. 

 

Solution: to perform the above task, do the following: 

1.  In the application configuration file, specify the following values for 

the parameters below: 

[updater.report] 

Append=true 

ReportLevel=1 

2.  Edit the file that sets the rules for the cron process (crontab –e) by 

entering the following string for the root or kluser user, add, for 
example, the following line: 

In Linux: 

23 * * * * /opt/kav/5.5/kav4proxy/bin/keepup2date 
-q  

In FreeBSD: 

23 * * * * /usr/local/share/kav/5.5/ 

kav4proxy/bin/keepup2date -q 

 

The specified time setting for the cron task start is just an example. You 
are advised to specify your own settings for the start time to avoid 
overloading the updating servers.
