The GSA is the web front end to the Manager. The Manager does the job of controlling the scan and storing the results of the scan. > If not then too bad..I want to run scans on a server without X or Gnome/KDE. > Is that possible with GSA? It's possible to run the Manager and the GSA on such a server. The GSA just serves a web front end like a web server does. If you want to automate things via a command line program you can use the "omp-cli" program in the openvas-client module (recently moved to the openvas-cli module in trunk and renamed "omp"). The trunk versions of GSA and Manager also include built-in task scheduling, so you could wait for the next beta for that. -- Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück | AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
