esets_scan and num_thrd option

[eugeniu 0]

Hi, 
I am trying to see whether changing the num_thrd option in esets.cfg makes any difference when multiple files are submitted for processing to the esets_scan tool.

I set this option in [global] section of the cfg file. However running the ps -eLo pid,cmd,nlwp | grep esets_scan shows that nlwp (number of threads for esets_scan) process is always 1 regardless of the setting I use for num_thrd.

 

I am submitting 10 files at once to the scanner tool.

 

Why aren't there 10 threads created when num_thrd=10 ? Or what am I doing wrong?

 

The daemon is not resident in memory. I am using just the scanner tool from the command line.

 

Thanks.

Hello Eugeniu,

 

num_thrd options is under daemon options so it applies to objects scanned by esets_daemon, not by esets_scan.
