AVG Linux Email Server / User Manual
c) Product Registration
After the installation process you need to register your AVG for Linux E-mail
Server unless it has been registered already during the installation process;
this applies to special packages for AVG Anti-Virus vendor partners.
The registration can be performed by launching the
$ avgscan -register
command in your shell.
(See chapter 7.1 Standalone Command Line Modules/AVGSCAN Command
details).
d) Launching the E-mail Scanning Daemon
Having installed and registered your AVG for Linux E-mail Server you must
start the AVG for Linux services. These services completely cover both e-mail
and on-access scanning modules that run as memory resident daemons. The
daemons can be controlled using the signal mechanism and AVG for Linux E-
mail Server configuration file.
(See chapters 7.4 Standalone Command Line Modules/Service Signals
Configuration File for detailed information).
Launch the services as root (only root can send signals to daemons):
# /etc/init.d/avgd start
If you are not logged in as root, the command responds with respective
warning.
You can use the
$ su
command and apply the superuser password to change your identity to the
root.
Note: The fact you are logged in as root is usually indicated by the '#'
character at the beginning of your prompt. The normal user identity is
indicated by the '$' character.
See chapter 5. E-mail Scanning
scanning daemon.
Note: The e-mail scanning daemon serves its purpose only when a mail
transport agent and possibly the necessary third party software are present
and properly configured! See chapter
information on how to install and setup additional tools needed to enable the
e-mail anti-virus protection with AVG for Linux E-mail Server.
