Resolved Watchdog doesnt scan server

Frank

New Pleskian
Hello,
OS Debian 9.4
Plesk 17.8.11

Watchdog is installed and monitoring services, but if I want to scan the server under the security tab for rootkits, backdoors, local exploit and so on.... the scan starts but stops after 30 sec and Scanning Status shows
The scanner has never been started.

In /usr/local/psa/var/modules/watchdog/log is no entry
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/watchdog/reportsecurscan

is showing
[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.4 ]
Checking rkhunter data files...
Checking file mirrors.dat [ No update ]
...
...
...
Invalid SCRIPTWHITELIST configuration option: Non-existent pathname: /usr/bin/whatis

Who can help ?
 
Make sure that file /usr/bin/whatis exists:

# ls -la /usr/bin/whatis
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48104 Nov 7 2015 /usr/bin/whatis*

This file is a part of man-db package:

# dpkg -S /usr/bin/whatis
man-db: /usr/bin/whatis

Install it if necessary with:

# apt-get install man-db
