I'm confused about the NVT update process. I see both openvas-nvt-sync and openvas-nvt-sync-cron, but if I'm understanding this properly, the new NVTs will not take effect until either the server is rebooted or the openvas service is restarted? I've read some posts that indicates the database has to be rebuilt using "openvasmd -rebuild"? Is this the case? I have the latest openvas-nvt-sync and openvas-nvt-sync-cron scripts, and I've read this isn't enough, and that the server still has to be rebooted. Is this correct? I can reboot the server so many minutes after running the nvt updates using cron, but is there a more elegant way to do this? Incidentally, there is "/etc/init.d/openvas-manager restart > /dev/null 2>&1" inside the cron script which is an invalid path for my CentOS 7 installation, and I cannot find an executable anywhere on the system called "openvas-manager". I know I'm missing something here, but can someone please help me out regarding an automated NVT update process? I really appreciate any assistance.
Thanks - Baskervi
