Not quite true, if you kill -HUP the main nessus pid (stored in $PREFIX/var/nessus/nessusd.pid), the current scan will run fine and all subsequent scans will use the new plugins. Im not sure whether the update script actually "restarts" the daemon or just HUP's the listening process, read the script and find out ;) -HD - [EMAIL PROTECTED]: general discussions about Nessus. * To unsubscribe, send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe nessus" in the body.
