Hello,

I'm running you plugin on debian 8. just figure out that freshclam can't create the pid file into /var/run/clamav/. this folder is owned by root and freshclam run a user clamav.

Anyway this isn't needed when we use systemd according to : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804132

I checked this PR : https://github.com/edestecd/puppet-clamav/pull/38/commits

Does this fixed also this issue ?

Yes I think it does. I was close to merging that at one point. I need to look at it again. I think he fixed everything.

hdep commented 6 years ago

great. Thank you for the feed back.

Would be great to have that merged, we are also affected by this issue (freshclam pid file cannot be created on Debian 8+)
