BASH shell script for Sophos Anti-virus

Hi,

I'm Lotus Notes Administrator who was roped into installing Sophos Anti-Virus software on a Sun Solaris 10 server. After installing it I found that I needed to configure it with a BASH script, which I have no idea how to create. Does anyone in here haev any examples I can look at?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Typically scripts like that already exist, you just need to find it and run it. Check the docs.

Hi,

The first thing to do would be to get in touch with Sophos support :

Sophos - Contact technical support

Sophos is installed on Solaris as a command line program , generally the configuration is done during install so you would just run the program to perform a scan , if the configuration is missing the error messages you get will be related to the path to library files (if this is the case you can either manually point to them or re-run the install to set the paths correctly)

For a script , I'm not sure your just asking how to run a scan ?

If so the answer is normally run sweep with the options you like or with --? or --help to list the options available

Or if you would like to set up a scheduled scan with a specific set of options ?

Then the answer to this is the same as the above but using cron to schedule the job.

If your looking for any other information then get in touch with Sophos (link above).
