scheduled scans do not run

I am able to do scheduled scans with the Hardy version. Klamav does have to be running for the scan to work. Was klamav running when you expected the scan to happen?

Yes, klamav was running at those times. CPU usage did not increase and no "Scanning..." icon appeared on the desktop, both of which I expected. In addition, if I schedule a "once only" scan, when I return to the scheduler the scheduled task is no longer present.

I was able to find out some more information about the problem I am having. I found that KlamAV modifies my crontab in order to run scheduled scans:

crontab:
...
# KlamAV Scheduled Scan of /home/chris/
0 12 * * * /home/chris/.klamav/ScanWithKlamav_130808141030.sh '/home/chris/'
# KlamAV Scheduled Scan of /home/chris/
40 13 * * * /home/chris/.klamav/ScanWithKlamav_190808133139.sh '/home/chris/'
...

If I run one of those tasks manually with KlamAV open, the task won't run and I get the following:

chris@chris-laptop:~$ /home/chris/.klamav/ScanWithKlamav_190808133139.sh '/home/chris/'
cat: /home/chris/.DCOPserver_:0: No such file or directory
object '/usr/bin/dcop' in application 'is' not accessible
object not accessible
chris@chris-laptop:~$

If I close KlamAV and try again, KlamAV opens and the scheduled scan begins. I still get some errors on the command line:

chris@chris-laptop:~$ /home/chris/.klamav/ScanWithKlamav_190808133139.sh '/home/chris/'
cat: /home/chris/.DCOPserver_:0: No such file or directory

LibClamAV Error: Database Directory: /var/lib/clamav not locked
QLayout "unnamed" added to Klamav "KlamAV ", which already has a layout

This will be fixed in KlamAV 0.45. Thanks!
