Hi,

I this a VPS? Have you ensured your server is not exhausting it's RAM? You can check `/var/log/messages' for "OOM" errors; however, depending on the virtualization used, this may differ. You may want to check with your host as well to see if this is the case.

Thanks,

Hello,

Do you notice any error messages when attempting to restart it manually when this happens? EX:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_clamd

Also, do you see any noticeable entries in /var/log/exim_mainlog or /var/log/exim_paniclog at the time of the failures?

Thank you.

I get this error when I run /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_clamd


Service Error
The system could not find the “/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/clamd” binary.
clamd has failed. Contact your system administrator if the service does not automagically recover.

Hello,

As per the logs, I can see clamd binary is not present in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin directory and due to that you are getting this issues, Can you please try to reinstall clamav on your server through WHM OR use following command to install clamav

/scripts/update_local_rpm_versions --edit target_settings.clamav installed
/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix --targets=clamav

The system could not find the “/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/clamd” binary.

Hello

You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling ClamAV via:
https://10.6.43.71:2087/cpsess8552418580/scripts/command?PFILE=main
"WHM Home » cPanel » Manage Plugins"

Thank you.
