As root:
        # /usr/local/sbin/nessus-update-plugins

If you are running a recent version of RedHat and want to schedule this,
run this command:
        # vi /etc/cron.daily/nessus-update-plugins
        
        #!/bin/sh
        #
        # Update the Nessus plugins
        
        usr/local/sbin/nessus-update-plugins
        # End script

Although you may *really* want to upgrade to the latest version
(2.1.10a) of Nessus.
