[Sophos anti-virus for Linux] Can I add excluded files or directories recursively by "**"?

Kohei Aoki

Hi.

I'd like to improve my pc's performance by avoid scanned some directories recursively by Sophos anti-virus.

The manual (https://docs.sophos.com/esg/SAV-Linux/help/en-us/PDF/sav_linux_cg.pdf) doesn't say explicitly that it's possible to add ExcludeFileOnGlob recursively.

Can I exclude directories recursively?

    I "think" adding a wildcard for a directory would exclude it recursively. You may want to test to verify.

    If you use ExcludeFileOnGlob to exclude a directory, you must add the * wildcard to the end of the path. For example: /opt/sophos-av/bin/savconfig add ExcludeFileOnGlob '/tmp/report/*'.
