It's "super-silent" output. exiscan versions >= -21 treat "no output" as
failure for command line scanners. Looks like I'm gonna have to revert
to the old behaviour. Luckily this should not break things again.

Anyway, my first tip would be to use the sophie daemon (much faster).

If you can't do that for some reason, use what Sven Geggus has proposed:

---------quote sven--------------------------------------
Unfortunately the Return value of 13 is the only thing which
is suitable for virus detection. As exiscan does not honor
the Return value of commandline scanners I solved this problem
as follows:

exiscan_av_scanner_path = /usr/local/uvscan/uvscan
exiscan_av_scanner_options = --secure -rv --summary --noboot | ; echo -e
"\nuvscan_retval $?"
exiscan_av_scanner_regexp_trigger = uvscan_retval 13
exiscan_av_scanner_regexp_description = Found:* (.*)$
-----------------------------------------------------------
