My goal is to run Nessus without using the GUI. Currently, I'm running the following command: # ./nessus localhost 1241 userid userpass target.txt This command does not run nessus and instead pop's up the help file for nessus. I am running version 2.2.5 Thanks! _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
