Hi there

I am running two instances of nessusd - on different ports. However, I am having problems, and I've dug out something that isn't right...

It looks like nessusd is hardwired for several paths: the pid and "state" directory are embedded in the binary. This makes me wonder what's meant to happen when a HUP/whatever is sent - which one of the two nessusd processes gets it? (the answer is "only one of them").

Shouldn't the pid location - or at least the statedir be a config option? Otherwise there's a mess of things that could be writing simultaneously in there...

This is with Nessus 2.2.3
