Thanks Gene.

Also, I found that in order for your suggested modification to work I
needed to put a space between the ! and the -d and also I needed to
chown the new directory.

For the benefit of the archives this is what now works for me:

#============8<===================================================
# In the definitions section:
CLAMD_PIDDIR=/var/run/clamd.${CLAMD_SERVICE}

# and in the "start" stanza:

 if [ ! -d $CLAMD_PIDDIR ] ; then
         mkdir $CLAMD_PIDDIR && chown clamd:clamd $CLAMD_PIDDIR
      fi
#============8<===================================================

Thanks again for your help Gene. Much appreciated.

Mark
