+Subject: [PATCH] Use `/sbin/service` rather `service` and `reload` rather
+ `restart for RHEL/CentOS 6
+
+By default RHEL/CentOS 6 doesn't have `/sbin` in `$PATH`, thus `service clamd restart`
+poorly fails by default. Aside of that, a `reload` rather a `restart` is sufficient for
+ClamAV as well to reload the ClamAV databases (worked already for years now). If at all
+this should be turned into `condrestart` rather `restart`, because RHEL/CentOS 6 might
+not use `/etc/init.d/clamd` service at all, but `/etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd` service;
+which gets relevant when ClamAV is used only for Amavisd-New, but not for the actual
+system...nobody would like to see a maybe unused service to be started by a cronjob...
