AVG Linux Email Server / User Manual
42 
7.4. Service Signals 
Both on-access and e-mail scanning daemons are controlled within common AVG 
for Linux E-mail Server services. The services can be comprehensively managed 
by sending them a signal at once via the 
# /etc/init.d/avgd [start|stop|restart|reload|status|condrestart] 
command
 on most systems, or directly, using the 
# /opt/grisoft/avg7/etc/init.d/avgd 
[start|stop|restart|reload|status|condrestart] 
command. 
The options in the square brackets represent the possible signals that can be sent to 
the AVG for Linux E-mail Server daemons: 
z  start – starts the daemons 
z  stop – stops the daemons 
z  restart – restarts the daemons 
z  reload – forces the daemons to reload the internal virus database 
z  status – shows the status of the daemons 
z  condrestart – conditionally restarts the daemons 
Note: You can only control the AVG for Linux E-mail Server daemons as root this 
way! 
The on-access scanning performance can be configured using the common AVG for 
Linux E-mail Server configuration file. (See chapter 
8. Configuration File for 
detailed information.)
