Any clues on what went wrong? Unfortunately, it's not easy to track down the problem. You can try running it as "sh -x nessus-update-plugins" and/or editing the script to not delete the scratch directory when this error occurs so you can study the download. But if you've been running this successfully in the past you'll probably find the problem is in retrieving the plugins. I ran into this problem 2 weeks ago -- for several days the download failed consistently when run out of cron early in the morning. I'd run it by hand and it would be fine. So I modified the script as described above only to find the files downloaded via cron were always corrupt while the others were fine. Thinking that perhaps my cron jobs just happened to be snagging the file as it was being updated, I modified my cron job to run the script several times each night. Unfortunately, as soon as I did that the problem went away. :-( George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
