I'm not sure I understand your question.... nessus-update-plugins is a command that can be run at a shell prompt, through cron, or as part of another script. > Give me please the correct syntax .

If a simple web proxy isn't available to you, you'll need to build nessus-fetch on an intermediate machine, set up a process to move the plugin tarball from the intermediate machine to your server or else a way to make it available to the server, and finally modify the source to nessus-fetch on the server to retrieve the file from the alternate location. > > 3)How can i schedule the pluggin up date timings ?
