I am currently attempting to do the same thing, but I connect to my server
using a password. I have saved the password in the profile, and I have also
clicked "Don't show execution options dialog at session execution." If I
manually click on the profile in the NessusWX client, the scan immediately
starts running without prompting me for passwords/options, etc. I would
assume that this means that a batch job can run without the need of user
intervention.
I receive an error every time I try to run a batch job.
When I type:
nessuswx --batch test1
I get the following error in my nessuswx-batch.log
[10-Jan-2003 11:13:55] Batch log file opened
<<< Cannot open debug log >>>

Subject: NessusWX - Windows Scheduling
Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right list to post to (I can't find a NessusWX one),
but here goes:
I'm trying to automate NessusWX to conduct daily scans of certain addresses
via AT (scheduling in Win2k or NT).
I have properly set up the session configuration and batch scripts, so that
I can run 'do_scan.cmd' and nessuswx will load the session, connect to
nessusd, download the plug-ins and start the scan. When I try and schedule
it as an AT job, I get the error message:
[06-Jan-2003 17:33:00] Batch log file opened
New encryption key was generated
MSG(Error) Cannot load session configuration from disk.
Batch job finished
I am aware that when using AT you need to specify absolute paths to files,
even if it's in the system path. I have done this, yet I still get errors;
My thoughts are that the '--batch' flag is the culprit, as it asks for
session name, not absolute path to session folder. An example would be that
$session, running under AT, is %systemroot%\$session . "session"\.
Has anyone got this working?
Cheers,
-Patrick
