[W3af-users] W3af in the Background

[Aman T. <ama...@gm...>]

Hi Guys,
Good Day!!

I am trying to automate the w3af scanning process in my LAN. But i am
having hard time with it.

What i have done till now is that. I have made a small http server in
python. In which, i am passing the domain name of my own website.
eg: $ 192.168.1.100:8080/?website=www.mywebsite.com

When i run the http server by sshing to the server and running it in
background using the ampersand(&). So, if my ssh session is on and i send a
request to scan from my other machine on the LAN, then it starts the scan
and shows it in my ssh session screen.
$ runserver &

But if i end my session, after running the server in the background with
the following commands:
$ runserver&
$ exit

Then, it creates the process but it never finishes the process or scan. I
can see the w3af_console process in the result of $ ps aux command but it
never finishes it.

Can anyone suggest me something about it? Can we do a scan by invoking the
w3af_console in the background? Is running the w3af in background possible
on a machine?

Thanks
