Greetings all. In running Nessus from a command line, I am getting the following error:
[root@localhost validaccount]# nessus -q localhost 1241 validaccount validpassword /home/validaccount/targetlist /home/validaccount/results Could not create this file ! open : No such file or directory [root@localhost validaccount]# I have touched the output file prior to the scan, and get the same error. I do not have much experience with the command line interface of Nessus, and I apologize if these have been asked before, but here goes. 1) is there a way to execute a command line nessus session that will perform a diff scan? 2) Is the sytntax of my example correct (i.e. am I leaving any necessary switches out?) 3) I have tried specifing a detached scan in the gui client, but how does that transfer over to the Any additional help you might be able to provide would be helpful. Host specific information: RH 7.2 Nessus 1.1.8 I am all for "RTFM", but I have not found a resource that has sufficiently answered these questions such that it did not ask a thousand more. If the info is available, a pointer to that information would be appreciated. Bob --------------------------- Robert Perciaccante Information Security Dow Jones and Company
