Schedule: planned schedule doesnt' start - errors in gvmd.log about gvmd

[mattmundell]

This is possibly solved by /pull/338 where the Start Task alert authentication
was failing. The Start Task alert and the schedules use the same authentication mechanism.

I'll test that build asap, I've built a Debian test VM on this purpose. I'll update the thread as soon I update the git source on my machine. Thanks.

I have noticed a similar issue with Schedules failing, but have seen the following errors repeated in the gvmd.log file when the task tries to kick off:

you are right, I've similar logs in "/usr/local/var/log/gvm/gvmd.log":

I tested the issue today on my debian vm and it looks resolved.
The test scan ran with an hourly schedule without auth problems.

Great, thank you.
