Here is a start script that I created for my redhat system. I of course
blatantly stole it from some other init.d script so I'll blame the original
author (unnamed) for any bugs :)
Put the script in /etc/rc.d/init.d and use chkconfig to get it to start on
boot. Use "/sbin/service nessusd stop" to stop the daemon. Okay, it's a
lot of work to get kill executed, but it works.
