Thanks Reindl, and actually I agree with you given the number of stupid
issues I've struggled with since using Kali. But unfortunately, for
pentesting, I don't see any alternatives to kali.
Anyway thanks for posting your scripts, I'm using yours now. For
reference, the default logrotate files shipped with kali contains:
/var/log/openvas/gsad.log {
missingok
notifempty
create 640 root adm
daily
rotate 7
compress
postrotate
if [ -s /var/run/gsad.pid ]; then kill -1 `cat /var/run/gsad.pid`;
fi
openvaslogs=`ls /var/log/openvas/gsad.log.*`
if [ -n "$openvaslogs" ]; then
chown root:adm $openvaslogs
chmod 640 $openvaslogs
fi
endscript
}
Same for openvas manager and scanner...
