Hmm.. So if I write another script to modify the port_range section of the
.nessusrc file to define the ports to scan, what is the format? Is it similar
to the Nmap '-p' syntax?
Something like:
- run Nmap to discover open ports on a host and output to ports.txt
- use cat/sed/awk/whatever to rewrite the port_range line in .nessusrc from
ports.txt
- call nessus using the following syntax:
nessus -q -x -V -T html -c .nessusrc localhost 1241 username password host.txt
test.html
I'm testing it now to see if that works.
Thanks!

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

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.
