BTW, here's an undocumented tip, the "-y" option:

# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessusd -y
nessusd (Nessus) 4.2.1 [build K9119] for Linux
(C) 1998 - 2010 Tenable Network Security, Inc.

Processing the Nessus plugins...
[##################################################]

All plugins loaded

"nessusd -y - Does the same as nessusd -t, but exits once done (instead
of starting to listen on port 1241)."

Cheers,
