I would like to configure automatic update e.g. once per day. It can be done by cron running greenbone-feed-sync.
The question is should i restart services as well doing this cron job?
According on documentation not clear enough:
1. Downloading the changes via [rsync](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync)
2. Loading the changes into memory and a database by a daemon
Both steps may take a while, from several minutes up to hours, especially for the initial synchronization. Only if both steps are finished, the synchronized data is up-to-date and can be used.
The first step is done via the **greenbone-feed-sync** script. The second step is done automatically when the daemons are started.
This depends on your install method. For bare-metal installations or traditional virtual-machine installations, you don’t need to restart, the synchronization happens in the background. However, for the Greenbone CE Docker containers, its a two step process that includes “restarting” the container volumes that have the newest downloaded data.
Clear for the automatic sync. But the download of the feed itself does not happen automacially, it must be executed manually by greenbone-feed-sync. And if I want it to be done frequently by the system, I have to create a cronjob. Right?
