It is not working for me. Any clue? I could not see it in the admin dashboard. Thanks in Advance.

Check your quoting if you enter it in a shell.

Also make sure that you’re calling the command with the correct user. If gvmd is e.g. running as user gvm but you’re calling the command with user myuser this won’t work.
