nessusd.messages

[McGlon, Robert]

I attempted to create a script the will archive the nessusd.dump file and the nessusd.messages, because they fill up quickly. I’m running Nessus 2.0.12 . It works!!!  I gave myself a gold star, being that it’s one of my first real scripts. The only problem is the new nessusd.messages file is not populating with any data from new scans. What do I need to do to archive these files and keep the system running?   Here is the script I wrote that I added to a weekly cron:   #!/bin/bash declare TARDATE=`date +%R-%F` gzip -c9 /usr/local/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.dump >> nessusd.dump_$TARDATE.gz gzip -c9 /usr/local/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages >> nessus.messages_$TARDATE.gz mv /usr/local/var/nessus/logs/*.gz /usr/local/var/nessus/log_saves/   rm -rf /usr/local/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.dump nessusd.messages touch /usr/local/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.dump nessusd.messages chmod 644 /usr/local/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.dump nessusd.messages       Robert McGlon Office of the Chief Information Security Officer (OCISO) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (770) 488-8658 cdq1@cdc.gov
