Thanks for the advice of the -V tag, mised that one, but I am not sure I
know why this is coming out?  Am I missing some definition of plugins? It
looks as if Nessus works, it just doesn't know what to DO with the IP's I
give it?

I have a VERY odd problem I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting.

I have two installs of RedHat 8.0 with Nessus 2.03. I finally got cron jobs
working using the nessus CLI client on the first machine using SSL Certs,
and was very happy with it.

I have done the very same thing to the second box, but the script  will
execute, ask me to accept the servers cert, and then do nothing (usually I
am warned about how the plug-ins could damage servers..etc...) for about 10
secs then it returns. No errors in the logs, nothing. I get HTML file
result saying that no tasks were run because no servers were alive to test.
Yet I CAN ping each server from that box.

Yet the NessusWX client cert works with both servers (I can start sessions
and get results)

Help, I just need a nudge on where to start looking, I have been staring at
this for so long I can't see mistakes anymore, or I see them where there
are none..
