I'm running 64bit version of REHL 5 on a dell server. I've installed Symantec Anti Virus 10.1 on the system and it seems to work fine as the icon shows up in the system tray and I have been able to update the definitions twice now. The problem is that Auto Protect is disabled by default. According to the SAV 10 Linux documentation the command to enable autoprotect is sav autoprotect -e. When this is executed, it spits back an error message saying bash: sav: command not found. However, when the command /opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus/sav autoprotect -e is ran from root it does not spit back any errors and seems to go through with no problems. However, when you look at the system tray icon it still says Autoprotect is disabled. Now, if you change directory to /opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus and try to run sav autoprotect -e it spits back the same error as above. However, if you run ./sav autoprotect -e from the same directory, it appears to go through with no problems, but just like I mentioned above, there is no change to the system tray status..

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi DCLXVI666,

What you need to do is to put the directory path, /opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus/, into your PATH variable for bash.

$ cd
which puts you back to your HOME directory, i.e. ~.

Then edit your ~/.bashrc file as follows by adding the following line at the end using your editor of choice:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus/

After make the edit change to your ~/.bashrc file, then run the following command in a Terminal window:
$ . .bashrc
which will activate the new $PATH variable.

Then rerun your tests to see if it has fixed your problem.

lotuseclat79,
It didn't work. It stopped all the errors but nothing happens. Any other ideas? Thanks!
