Thank You for Your time and answer, Michael:

I think any server admin. wants that his server/work will not be
destroyed in any mission critical degree.

Now I' m speaking about single user that has bash access (me) + many
users that use proxy on it, postfix, ftp. - So, if this can narrow Your
advice, I would like to hear it.

Thank You, again, And what is Your opinion on volatile for clamav, for
example& - It always says to me, it is out dated.
