I'm trying to run nessus from the command line with a crontab so the process is entirely automated.
I'm not sure if my syntax is wrong somewhere or what, but when I run the command, I can see nessus start as a process (with ps or top) and utilize cpu time and memory for a few seconds, but then it just sits idle. It's still running, it never relinquishes the terminal I start it from and ps and top still show it running. But it's idle and not doing anything. .no reports. .no nothing. HELP! Here is my command line: nessus -T html -q host.ourdomain.com 1241 user /nessus_data/server.lst /nessus_data/reports/nessus.html -Rich
