clamav-server: clamd plist not working

Reported by: jwiegley@… Owned by: pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.1
Keywords: Cc: bitpup, cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: clamav-server

Description

Since clamd daemonizes itself, the launchd plist file thinks that the process is suddenly dying. You may not notice because the clamd daemon is running, but you'll see lots of error reports in the log as it keeps trying to run clamd over and over.

launchd scripts need to manage the status of child processes themselves, so the executable they run can't self-daemonize.

This is actually the exact problem that the use of daemondo by the default startupitem code was designed to solve.
