Queue wait time #401

What:
Wait a minute between scans starts.

Why:
Currently the queue system in ospd prevents to start a new scan if there is not enough available memory. This produces that new scans are put in the queue, while the memory condition is not satisfied.
Once some memory is released, all scans in queue are started. In the issue mentioned above, I pasted what I found in the log.

How:

  • Set min_free_mem_scan_queue option to some value, to avoid starting scans.
  • Start many task
  • release memory to allow queued scans to start.
  • Check in the log that the time between takes about a minute, and the queued scans are not started all together.

Checklist:

Once some memory is released, all scans in queue are started. In the issue mentioned above, I pasted what I found in the log.

This avoids ospd to start many queued scans simultaneously. So the last started scan has time enough to take some memory (launch some child processes).
…queue option

It doesn't make sense to wait time if the option is disabled.
Also, use global definition for the waiting time in seconds.
Could be possible that there last scan finished in a few seconds.
Therefore check for running scans.
Although, enough available memory is still a conditional, if enabled.
