I'm trying to find a solution to be able to pause and resume scans via the command line version of Nessus 3.0.6.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to schedule a scan to start at time X, stop at time Y, and start again at time Z (and maybe start/stop again at further intervals). I'm not sure if it's possible to obtain a "partial" log/results file from a scan that is "paused" or "cancelled," and then just start a new scan and stitch together the old and new results. I think the GUI version for Windows has a "pause" button, but as far as I know, the command line version (e.g., let's say I'm running on something linuxy) does not have a "pause" feature. Also, afaik, if you just use ctrl+z to pause a scan, and fg to put it back in the foreground, Nessus 3.0.6 does not have anything to account for this, and results from any scanning prior to hitting ctrl+z are lost (I haven't tested this myself yet, I apologize if this is incorrect). Has anyone found a way to pause/resume scans in Nessus 3.0.6 while maintaining the integrity of the scans? Or is this functionality already built in, and I'm just (not so blissfully) unaware of its presence? Thanks, -Adam
