openvasad − Administrator daemon of the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS)
openvasad OPTIONS
The core task of OpenVAS Scanner (openvassd(8)) within the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) is the actual scan process.
The OpenVAS Administrator is intended to simplify the configuration and administration of an OpenVAS Scanner both on a local installation as well as on a remote system by supplying functionality for user management and feed management. It can run as a daemon as well a standalone commandline interface.
When run as a daemon, OpenVAS Administrator will serve clients using the OpenVAS Administrator Protocol (OAP).
