Bob & All,

Thanks for your experience. In my case, I've installed Nessus on a fresh
Ubuntu Server Install using the following steps:


$ sudo apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins

$ sudo update-rc.d nessusd defaults

$ sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/nessusd /etc/rc2.d/S20nessusd

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd start

$ sudo nessus-adduser

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd restart

$ nessus


I would like to use and manage it entirely from the command line. However,
when I try to run it (see last step), I get the following error:


(nessus:8548): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:


Can I get some advice on how to configure this to run without X-windows? I's
like to setup some automation that kicks off nessus on a regular cycle and
sends a report.


Thanks!
