This is the expected helpful message from the nessus command line utility.
It looks like your scan is running. When this command finishes, your scan
results will be in the results.txt file.
To run nessus as an X gui, you do not need all the parameters.
If you are running this from a unix workstation:
1. Open a terminal window on your workstation
2. Log in
3. Set the display variable
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export DISPLAY (this varies depending on your environment)
4. run nessus, just type the command from the terminal window
Nessus
The nessus gui should appear on your desktop.
