Openvas was scanning fine for several days then suddenly stopped. The greenbone gui was running fine but wouldn't let me initiate new scans since it said the service was down. I ran openvas-check-setup and it said everything was ok except the scanner service was down. So I ran /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner start and it returned, "openvas-scanner.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See 'systemctl status openvas-scanner.service' and 'journalctl -xe' for details."
When I run 'systemctl status openvas-scanner.service', it says, 'load Failed to start Open Vulnerability Assessment System Scanner Daemon.' I tried purging openvas, rebooting, reinstalling, running openvas-setup but it hangs up and freezes at the end of the process. Are there any other options besides wiping out Kali and restoring a new Kali image? I really want to avoid doing that if possible.
