Hi, When I woke up this morning I had loads of clamd FAILED emails! For the time being I have switched the email off for clamd. I tried a manual restart: [QUOTE] Service "clamd" is already stopped. Waiting for "clamd" to start ""info [restartsrv_clamd] systemd failed to start the service "clamd" (The "/usr/bin/systemctl restart clamd.service --no-ask-password" command (process 21044) reported error number 1 when it ended.): Job for clamd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status clamd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. "failed. Cpanel::Exception::Services::StartError Service Status Service Error (XID pbf2rs) The "clamd" service failed to start.

Contact your system administrator if the service does not automagically recover.
Anyone know what to do? thanks, Alex

  Well I ended up removing the plugin, moving /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav to clam.old, re-installing Clam plugin and now it's running.

  Hello, I'm glad to see you were able to resolve the issue but should this occur again it would be good to know what caused it. You should be able to find some information within /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
  should you run into any further issues.
