Thanks, that was it!

I can't see a way to run a command-line update with ServerProtect for
Linux - you can do it with a GUI, and with Dazuko and all that
installed, but I'd prefer to just use Trophie with a
trophie-ide-update.pl type thing.  If you can get that up and running, I
would be greatly appreciative!  It can't be that hard; simply retrieve
the latest libvsapi.so from
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/engine.asp and vdef from
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp.  Too bad Mark Martinec
isn't in to Trophie. ;)
