The /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep script is used to pause the Freshclam daemon (freshclam) at certain times of the day. The Freshclam daemon is responsible for updating the virus definitions for ClamAV, an open-source antivirus software.
The freshclam-sleep script is typically used to prevent Freshclam from running during certain hours of the day, such as when the system is being used for other tasks or when the network is busy. This can help to reduce the load on the system and improve performance.
To use the freshclam-sleep script, you will need to configure the Freshclam daemon to run it at specific times. This is typically done using a cron job or similar scheduling tool. For example, you could use a cron job to run the freshclam-sleep script every day at midnight, which would pause the Freshclam daemon until the next day.
It is important to note that the location and contents of the freshclam-sleep script may vary depending on your system. You may need to modify the script or consult with your system administrator for more information.
