I'm afraid I need some more information here. My guess is that clamav-daemon is running. If you try to stop the daemon, by the command you mentioned above, then it will send a SIGTERM to the daemon and wait for the daemon to terminate. That timeout is around one minute and twenty seconds. Plenty of time. The `stop' command should not take that long. If that takes _long_ for the daemon to process the signal it might be because it is swapped out. But in that case it shouldn't be able to process scan requests in a timely manner. So I am puzzled what is going on. Sebastian
