In addition to what others have suggested, you might also make sure the
userid under which CGIs are run can call nessus in batch. For example,
if you're using SSL for Nessus communications, then the client may be
prompting you interactively to verify nessusd's SSL certificate or
select an SSL paranoia level.
As an aside, I wonder whether calling nessus directly from a CGI script
is a good idea. Do you plan to keep the HTTP connection open however
long the scan takes?
