Who uses Antivirus software on your linux servers?
So who uses antivirus software on your linux servers? A co-worker and myself have been debating on the need or lack there of for antivirus on a linux webserver running Apache even if that's the only service that may be running. He thinks no and I am of the opinion that it is needed. My rational is that even though we may monitor the server that things can slip by and if someone is to crack our box they could add some sort of worm or whatever and by having a product scanning it may help use if we have a problem. So what is everybodies opinion and what do you use on your servers?

Note: set your pnp RRD_STORAGE_TYPE to MULTIPLE to support changeing numbers of queues.

perfdata format when checking mod gearman worker:
|worker=10 jobs=1508c

Check job server:
%>./check_gearman -H localhost -q host check_gearman OK - 0 jobs running and 0 jobs waiting. Version: 0.14|'host_waiting'=0;10;15;0
'host_running'=0 'host_worker'=3;5;10;0
Check worker:
%> ./check_gearman -H <job server hostname> -q worker_<worker hostname> -t 10 -s check check_gearman OK - host has 5 worker and is working
on 0 jobs|worker=5 jobs=96132c
