Ah well, the rest of the instructions don't quite work either:
...# sudo openvassd
All plugins loaded
...# sudo openvasmd --migrate
md main:WARNING:13109:2012-06-17 15h11.00 EDT: sql_x: sqlite3_prepare failed:
no such table: meta
...# sudo openvasmd --rebuild
...# sudo killall openvassd
...# sleep 15
...# sudo /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner start
Starting OpenVAS Scanner: openvassd.
...# sudo /etc/init.d/openvas-manager start
Starting OpenVAS Manager: openvasmd.
...# sudo /etc/init.d/openvas-administrator restart
Restarting OpenVAS Administrator: openvasad.
...# sudo /etc/init.d/greenbone-security-assistant restart
Restarting Greenbone Security Assistant: ERROR.
Now, that's a flaw in the init.d script. Since after killing the gsad instance
on the system:
...# /etc/init.d/greenbone-security-assistant start
Starting Greenbone Security Assistant: ERROR.
...# ps aux | grep gsad
root 13338 0.0 0.0 91412 1524 pts/1 Sl 15:41 0:00 /usr/sbin/gsad
--listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9392 --alisten=127.0.0.1 --aport=9393
--mlisten=127.0.0.1 --mport=9390
The "running" function in the init.d function is failing. Now, it starts by
trying to find the pid file:
running()
{
# No pidfile, probably no daemon present
#
[ ! -f "$PIDFILE" ] && return 1
pid=`cat $PIDFILE`
# No pid, probably no daemon present
[ -z "$pid" ] && return 1
[ ! -d /proc/$pid ] && return 1
cmd=`cat /proc/$pid/cmdline | tr "\000" "\n"|head -n 1 |cut -d : -f 1`
# No gsad?
[ "$cmd" != "$NAME" ] && return 1
return 0
}
and the pid file is there on the system:
# ls /var/run/gsad.pid
/var/run/gsad.pid
Not only is the pid file there, it has the right pid:
...# cat /var/run/gsad.pid
13338
...# ps aux | grep gsad
root 13338 0.0 0.0 91412 1524 pts/1 Sl 15:41 0:00 /usr/sbin/gsad
--listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9392 --alisten=127.0.0.1 --aport=9393
--mlisten=127.0.0.1 --mport=9390
Okay if I run the "cmd"
... # cat /proc/13338/cmdline | tr "\000" "\n"|head -n 1 |cut -d : -f 1
/usr/sbin/gsad
Why then does $cmd not equal $NAME. Obviously because:
NAME=gsad - which could work with an awk or sed invocation to do a regex.
Hmm, would changing that variable from $NAME to $DAEMON fix it ...
YES, it does!
