Hey Renaud! =) As we commented some time ago, the final objective is to run unattended nessus scans (at night for example). There is nothing wrong with editing a .nessusrc file, but it would be easier if the cli could:
- create a template for selecting plugins (plug0=yes,plug1=no, etc) just like the GUI - resume sessions :nessus --resume <param0 param1...> (just like the gui) - use nmap scans as input: nessus --use-nmap-result scan.nmap (just like the gui) - and finally use nessus at its fullest without the need to use the GUI at all. get the idea? i think this would improve vastly the cli without the need of a text "wizard" scheme which seems to be much slower to implement. Again this is just MHO but if youre willing to develop further more the CLI be sure a lot of us would be very grateful =) best rgds for all Cristobal Renaud Deraison wrote: > > There was some project to improve the cli.
