Default clamd_reload_opt Always Returns Error

[LarryStarr01]

The cron job always logs, and emails, and error message:

ERROR: Failed to reload, trying again

I found this is due to invoking clamscan with a non-existent argument "--reload".
I've worked around it in my local system by creating a local script to invoke reloading the database:

`#!/usr/bin/bash
#
socket=$(systemctl status clamav-daemon.socket | awk '/Listen:/ {print $2}')

if [ -n "$socket" ]; then
        echo 'RELOAD' | nc -U $socket
else
        echo "ERROR: Can't find clamd socket"
fi

There's probably a better way to do this but, it quiets the repeated error messages from the cron job on my system.
