Testing if the installation was successful

To verify the Command-Line Scanner works, please run it with the -verno option and then attempt to scan a file:

          f-prot -verno
          f-prot /etc/passwd

If no errors occur, then the installation of the Command-Line Scanner was successful and you should get a screen output similar to this one:

The x's represent the version and engine numbers and the date of the virus signature files.

We supply a shell script to verify the Daemon Scanner works. You can test the installation by first starting the Daemon Scanner:

          /usr/local/sbin/f-protd /usr/local/f-prot/

and then giving the command:

          /usr/local/f-prot/f-protc /usr/local/f-prot/f-protd
