The command depends on the server type.

The parameters depend our your installation's needs.

For example, as shown above, the command

SCANAV OBJ('/tmp') ONLYNEW(*YES) WAIT(*YES)

runs the SCANAV command for a ClamAV server, scanning the /tmp directory, looking only at new objects and displaying the results at the end of the run.
