service.running for clamav does not work

[Max Arnold]

Hi all,

I have the following state (for Ubuntu 12.04):

clamav-freshclam:
pkg:
- installed
service.running:
- enable: True

clamav-daemon:
pkg:
- installed
service.running:
- enable: True

After applying this state I get /usr/bin/freshclam running and /usr/sbin/clamd not.
On the second run of state.sls clamav both daemons are running. Is there any workarounds for this?

Try switching the order. Install and run clamav-freshclam AFTER clamav-daemon.

Here is my working clamav state file: (in salt >= 0.17.x, you can ignore the require statements because it will execute the declarations in the written order).

clamav-daemon:

  pkg.installed:

  service:

    - running

    - enable: True

    - require:

      - pkg: clamav-daemon

clamav-freshclam:

  pkg.installed:

  service:

    - running

    - enable: False

    - require:

      - pkg: clamav-daemon

      - pkg: clamav-freshclam

Ooops, enable should be "True" on freshclam service.

To make it work I splitted pkg.installed to separate lines:

clamav-daemon:
pkg:
- installed

service:
- running
- enable: True
- require:
- pkg: clamav-daemon

clamav-freshclam:

pkg:
- installed

service:
- running
- enable: True
- require:
- pkg: clamav-daemon

- pkg: clamav-freshclam

Still, no success. It looks like clamav-daemon won't run without antivirus database:

apt-get install clamav-freshclam clamav-daemon && /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam start && /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start

* Clamav signatures not found in /var/lib/clamav
* Please retrieve them using freshclam
* Then run '/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start'

This was not shown in the minion log and no error was reported. I solved it with the following workaround:

clamav-freshclam:
pkg:
- installed

service:
- running
- enable: True

freshclam:
cmd.wait:
- watch:
- pkg: clamav-freshclam

clamav-daemon:
pkg:
- installed
service:
- running
- require:
- cmd: freshclam

Glad you figured it out.
