Re: Options for command line scanning

["Doug Nordwall" <raleel@gmail.com>]

ya.

set up a nessusrc file with the ports you want (port_range in the configuration file) and point the command line at that nessusrc file (it's one of the options)

should be just 

/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q -T format -c nessusrc server port user password targetfile resultsfile

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup a cron job to scan certain hosts on specific ports (output from a previously-run nmap scan), but every option I've tried just displays the help screen.  Is it possible to do this from the command line?  I know how to do it with a GUI client, but I'm trying to automate the process.  Any assistance would be most appreciated.

O/S: FreeBSD 6.2
Nessus Server/Client: 3.0.5
