<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> Hi, I've put together a scratch of - but fully workable with nagios's logic of exit codes implemented - plugin to check McAfee's Unix/Linux Viruscan. However my C programming is a forgotten story and Perl is not the right arena for me. Everything's written as a bash script and it uses help of some GNU utiliities. It checks if uvscan is running fine on the box, checks the age of its definitions and compares the version to the newest, available on the FTP site of the vendor. The produced report looks like this: McAfee running - engine: 4.2.40 av defs: 4293 - age check failed: AVdefs too (18 days) old! + NAI FTP has already 4296 !!! Would it be of any interest to anyone to make this plugin (named check_vscan) publicly available? Or best, would anyone wish to rewrite the code for the sake of all of us into a proper and fast enough C++ plugin? I will soon merge this plugin with my other scripts for automated downloads of newest antivirus definitions and also true scanning of EICAR virus patterns. It would be great if someone was willing to cooperate with the C coding before I have to make these enhacements, just to save work. P.S. I'm planning to do a very similar job for a WNT/W2K based TrendMicro Officescan suite, however still only in what I know, that is again as a shell script. Has been some work done on this so far?
