<h2>Manager daemon of the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS)</h2>


  <h2>Synopsis</h2>
<b>
    openvasmd OPTIONS<br>

  </b>


  <h2>Description</h2>

    <p>
      OpenVAS Scanner, openvassd(8), acts as a service and offers a
      communication protocol for its clients called OTP. The core
      task of the OpenVAS Scanner is the actual scan process.
    </p>

    <p>
      The OpenVAS Manager is a OTP client and adds various management
      functionalities to handle and organise scan results.
      Thus OpenVAS Manager acts as a layer between the
      OpenVAS Scanner and its own clients (for example omp(8),
      gsad(8) or gsd(8)) which connect via the OMP protocol
      to the OpenVAS Manager. 
    </p>

    <p>
      A related service is OpenVAS Administrator, openvasad(8) which
      among other tasks also manages user accounts for OpenVAS.
