clamav: org.macports.freshclam launch daemon issues

[cmyk (Schrödinger’s Cat)]

When I execute the launch deaemon script of org.macports.freshclam.plist I get this:

127: The specified service did not ship with the operating system

ClamAV update process started at Wed Jan 31 02:19:46 2024

From the clams-server port, not the clamav port.

That’s a weird issue. That launch daemon is automatically generated and really the simplest possible startupitem: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/9f4179bb590086063329e8c3409bf17ea9e57429/sysutils/clamav-server/Portfile#L52

The --pid=exec should be passed to daemondo, not sh.

What system are you on? I’d likely suggest bumping this question to the dev mailing list to find out why that simple startupitem doesn’t run.

Perhaps we should also ask, what is the command you used to execute it?

I am on Sonoma 14.2.1. I re-installed the clamAV ports packages after removing them. It seems to be running fine now. But the energy consumption is really bad. My M1 MacBook was drained in an hour. Activity monitor shows 1600 in the energy impact column.
