Thanks for the script. I made the script more usable: * clamdscan maybe isn't installed) * lockfile wasn't installed under Debian. You can as well remove that line as it is not used in the script * tmpdir generation maybe had a race condition = security problem due to foreseeable filename. Under bash one can use [[ ]] instead of []. One should use POSX notation $(expression) instead of `expression`. It works for me. You might want to double check though.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This change assumes usage of Bash as shell. On Linux it might be true, but on e.g. FreeBSD Bash is not installed at all by default. Using Bash only syntax limits usage of script to Linux only. More specific: to Linux only run from user context, not by scripting shell. Even Dash (Debian default scripting shell) is not supporting Bashisms.

err... see first line. |

@abusech can you clarify if your shell script should work under Bash only or be platform independent? Can you clarify what is your take on that matter, to avoid confusion? Should we use Bash or be POSIX complaint? |
