I think i answer this particular question about once a week. Probably time to make an unofficial FAQ to answer this stuff :)

why don't you just edit your .nessusrc file to include only the tests you want (you will need to know the plugin number) then use the command line nessus client to schedule the test via cron and you can use it's switches to produce the output in the format you want so you could for example have it make generate html with graphs and put it in your (secured!) web server directory I sympathise, nessus is *very* good but documentation is lacking. If it was thoroughly documented, it could be killer huge, and hopefully the devs would get more money too from people asking for their company support... -h Hari Sekhon Chris Hare wrote: I have a requirement to run some specific tests at certain intervals. How do I setup the nessus configuration files to do this? For example, I want to ping a host and execute all of the MS-SQL tests against the device. I can't seem to find an answer. I am quite content with editing a file to do what I need, since this is only periodic audit work I use it for and doing batch jobs on the Nessus server works just fine since there is a lot of address space to deal with.
