    Question Openvas Reloaded all the NVTs issue

    Hello all,
    First I want to say I love Kali! I was using Openvas on Kali 2 with out issue for a while, last night i had to force stop a scan in progress. First i hit the stop button in the gsad UI but after an hour i had to shut it down using "openvas-stop" from the command line. Now after bringing the system back on line i cant start a scan from the gsad UI and "ps aux|grep openvas" returns "openvassd: Reloaded all the NVTs" instead of waiting for connections. Did something get corrupt when the force shutdown happen? Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    I've had this happen before, and got past it by killing all openvas processes and rebooting. After that, I did an openvas-feed-update and that resolved the problem

    got similar problem today
    found these similar problem links:
    http://lists.wald.intevation.org/pip...ly/008222.html
    https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=2591
    no solution found

    tried grid's solution, reboot, openvas-feed-update, not works.

    finally, solved by clear openvas data in redis:
    Code:
    root@kali:/etc/openvas# redis-cli -s /var/lib/redis/redis.sock
    redis /var/lib/redis/redis.sock> keys *
    1) "OpenVAS.__GlobalDBIndex"
    redis /var/lib/redis/redis.sock> del OpenVAS.__GlobalDBIndex
    (integer) 1
    then restart openvas scanner

    warning: this seems completely removed all my openvas scans, results, targets, scan configs, and the user admin itself is also removed
