Scheduling a scan in Virex

You can run the scanner using the cron scheduler to run automated scan operations. Cron stores the scheduling commands in its crontab files. For further information about cron and crontab, refer to your operating system documentation or view the help text, using man cron and man crontab.

Examples

To schedule a scan operation to run at 18:30 every weekday, add this line to your crontab file:

30 18 * * 1-5 /usr/local/vscanx folder-name

To schedule a scan operation to run and produce a summary at 23:50 every Sunday, add this line to your crontab file:

50 23 * * 0 /usr/local/vscanx --summary folder-name

To schedule a scan operation to run on the uz directory at 10:15 a.m. every Saturday in accordance with options specified in a configuration file conf1, add this line to your crontab file:

15 10 * * 6 /usr/local/vscanx --load /usr/local/conf1 /uz
