I have an openvas server with a script to download the NVT database and update 
it everyday. It is based on this: 
http://www.openvas.org/compendium/automatically-updating-an-nvt-feed.html. I 
have simplified the commands here:

/usr/sbin/openvas-nvt-sync
kill -1 $(pgrep openvassd)
Openvasmd —update
Opevnasmd

I have been scanning the same IP address daily for weeks and I have been 
receiving the same results. Two days ago I got a scan report with information 
about an old version of PHP. It looked correct. The scan ran again at the same 
time, 24 hours later (March 16th) and those PHP results were not included. Is 
there an issue with downloading the database daily? Is there a better way to 
apply updates?

Any help would be appreciated
