Manual scanning and e-mail alert

Using latest Linux Security on RHEL6 with command line only -interface. Manual scan is done by

fsav /my/path/here

and the results would be nice to be emailed at given address. It this possible? And of course we do not need "All OK" -information, but the email if something suspicious is found.

Hi,

great!

Would you mind to offer the solution to the community?

Best Regards

Ok, our Script Kid Department did a great job and wrote fsav_scan.sh for this and all the future needs too. It also includes automatic report generation and removal after 30 days, and email alert is sent if needed.

action= report is is not to create a report, but to force the scanned only to report and block the file instead of disinfectiong it.

Just pipe the output to a file and decide (based on the returncode) what to do with the report....

yes, fsav takes parameter --virus-action1=report, so that was my first idea to send that further. But:

report = synonym to none

So how to get the status or more importantly the real alerts out of there to be processed to be sent be email?
