Bug #1754

[Nathan Gibbs]

Is this a feature that the Clamav Community could use?

Or am I wasting my time?

Thanks

I would have to agree with Tomasz on this one, all of the info you want
can easily be gained via perl or any other scripting language.

Agreed, I CAN easily get this stuff.  What I was thinking about was
myself 3 or 4 years ago, who DIDN'T KNOW HOW to "easily" get this stuff.
Back then "easily" would have been more % variables in the config.
I wished I'd had it then, would still like it now, although I personally
don't need any of it.

The External events where not much use to me then.
for years all my External events where

uanme|mail -s "appropriate subject [ %v if supported ]" noc@...

When we implemented a clamd monitoring script that bounced a test
signature off our clamds, the email hit the fan.  It was sugested to me
to use a more advanced virusEvent script to mitigate this .  In the
process of building that, it occurred to me that one script to handle
all the external events would be nice.

I think Thomasz and myself have the same view mainly,
"Why should my code do more work when his can do it?"

I understand Thomasz concern about "reimplementing the wheel."
However, one wheel implemented correctly, & available for everyone to
use, is better than all of us implementing our own wheels, & making the
same mistakes inifnitely.

Basically I want easier access to what clamav already has under the hood.
