Cron job for Automatic Feed updates in Openvas

To get updated content from the feeds you need to run the following scripts (in this order) on a daily base

crontab -e

0 1 * * * /usr/sbin/greenbone-nvt-sync &> /dev/null
0 2 * * * /usr/sbin/greenbone-scapdata-sync &> /dev/null
0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/greenbone-certdata-sync &> /dev/null

If there is any issue during the sync the scripts should give you additional info.
