Is is possible to schedule a custom scan?

MaineDave

I would like to schedule a scan with the for Mac Home product.  Is this possible?  If so, what are the steps?

    The feature is not included in our free product; however, you can easily create such a scan using AppleScript to start the scan and launching the script from iCal as a repeated event.

    Hi,

    Trying to use AppleScript as recommended.

    I have the  following:

    tell application "Sophos Anti-Virus"

     scan local volumes

    scan finder items "diskstation/homes"

    scan finder items "diskstation/music"

    scan finder items "diskstation/NetBackup"

    scan finder items "diskstation/photo"

    scan finder items "diskstation/usbshare2"

    scan finder items "diskstation/web"

    end tell

    The 'scan local volumes" seems to work fine.. The others are volumes on a NAT - these don't work at all.  Am I missing something?

    Cheers!

    Mike

    If the other volumes are on a NAT, shouldn't you be referring to "/Volumes/<volumename>/homes" etc?  I'm guessing for you that'd be "/Volumes/diskstation/homes".  The paths you have are not front anchored, and so will be referencing wherever the AppleScript is running from as their path root -- which is not what you're wanting to do, I presume.
