[nexpose-users] start up issues with community edition

[Ty Bailey]

As far as I am aware Jcran is correct. The "first time user" bit is off the mark as each startup requires the compilation.

Whenever nexpose community edition starts up it seems to take a long time and re-do commands and sequences that it already did before.  For example, I always see this message:

"compiling vulnerability definitions for first time users, this could take several minutes...."

Well, I'm not a first time user so does it go through this each and every time it starts up?

thanks.

nexpose enterprise is intended to be started, and kept running in the background (usually on a dedicated machine) for ongoing scanning. the adhoc process of startup / shutdown that some of us use for nexpose means that checks have to be compiled every time.

I believe the initial compilation process is XML vuln checks -> JESS code. Can anyone confirm that?
