Thanks, but i was doing that because if you read the help you found
this:

Batch-mode scan:
 nessus -q [-pPS] <host> <port> <user> <pass> <targets-file>
<result-file>

And as far i know that means i must use -q and optionally -pPS and if
this is not the way then i think that nessus --help command must be
changed to shown in an appropiate way.


In man page format, the line is incorrect. If you take the example of the tar man page, it should be (if they are mutually exclusive)

nessus -q [-] {pPS}

the [-pPS] says that you can use any, all, none, or some combination of them.
