The error message about $fetch_cmd you got means yours isn't. Second, you're supposed to run update-nessus-plugins itself, not pass it as an argument to nessus-update-plugins.  Thus, you should be running "/usr/local/soft_download/update-nessus-plugins -bs" (once you get nessus-update-plugins working).   George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
