Hi.

What is the true way to automatucally update feeds ? For example by cron
job.

I have installed openvas9 from repo
https://launchpad.net/~mrazavi/+archive/ubuntu/openvas with instrucrions
from there.
All works fine except automatic feeds update.

I tried to use this shell script in cron job:

#!/bin/bash

greenbone-nvt-sync
greenbone-scapdata-sync
greenbone-certdata-sync
openvasmd --rebuild --progress

The problem is that this update script works when i run it by hands but it
can break openvas when it runs from cron when openvas does scan job. With
this script I can get broken openvas -- openvasmd eats 100% CPU and cannot
be stopped by standard way (systemctl stop openvasmd). If I kill this
process with 'kill -9' then I get broken openvas. Cannot start new task
after that. It breaks some records in openvas databases or so. I did not
figure out it and then I need completly re-install openvas to get it
working back.

I tried to put this script in cron but once I got broken system as
described above. I tried to run this script several times when openvas did
not scanning and all was fine.

Please help how to set up feed updates by cron job safely and not depending
on scan tasc is running or not.
