Are you sure? I would expect that logging of an ongoing scan would continue to be written to the same file descriptor, although that descriptor would now be associated with a different filename. Thus, if you're simply rotating the files, output should continue in nessusd.messages.1 until the scan completes. All bets are off, though, if you're compressing old logs, moving them elsewhere, or the like. > Is log file rotation not supported while a scan is running? Configure nessusd to use syslog if you prefer are more robust logging mechanism. George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
