Delay on loading savscan

D Eban over 6 years ago

Hi,

I want to scan file with savscan (command-line) but it read all database files every time and it takes about 7 seconds for that!

so when want to scan 10 separate files (not together) i should run it 10 times and takes more than one minute!!

is there any switch for command-line to use deamon process database?

Thanks for your attention

Hello D Eban,

there is no switch, savscan is intended for occasional on-demand scans.
You didn't say why you want to scan file with savscan - are you looking for something like the SAV Dynamic Interface?

Actually i don't know about SAV Dynamic Interface, but i have a solution to check files with multiple AV (like virustotal but offline),

and i need commandline interface to check file status with each AV

Hello D Eban,

savscan initializes and uses its own instance of the scanning engine. This causes the overhead you've noticed.

Apparently there hasn't been much demand if at all for a command-line tool that uses SAVDI - guess most users of SAVDI write their own applications and don't go though the shell.
