Summary0002345: openvas-start and openvas-stop doesnt work
Description

'openvas-start' uses sysVinit commands in order to start openvas manager daemon, openvas scanner, greenbone security assistant daemon.
This doesn't work and the script fails.
Instead, you have to manually start those services by typing 'gsad', 'openvasmd', 'openvassd' into terminal.
'openvas-stop' and 'openvas-setup' fails to work for the same reason.

Steps To Reproduce

run 'openvas-start', 'openvas-stop', 'openvas-setup'

You will have to be much more explicit in your description of the problem.

The commands used are "service foo start/stop/restart" and they do work perfectly fine under systemd as well.

They will fail if you have not done the initial setup with "openvas-setup" but otherwise they are working.

So what do you believe is broken?

What version of the "openvas" package do you have? The current version is 8.0.

dpkg -s openvas|grep Version
