I'm quite keen to do that and my scripts have almost all been modified. However, I would I know this worked? Do I count the plugin lines in the rc file before and after running? Do I delete all the plugin lines in the rc file before running and see if anything at all is run?
Alas, I am ignorant of the OpenVAS internals and sorely pressed for time on the overall project of which this is just a part (hence can't take much time right now to learn the internals). I'll gladly share the results once I know how to test. Thanks - John On Fri, 2009-03-20 at 11:07 +0100, Felix Wolfsteller wrote: > "auto_enable_new_plugins" will switch new plugins on or off.
