Throw nessus-update-plugins into /etc/cron.daily

This will fire the script each day and grab any updates that are out there.

Subject: 3.02 plugin updates not working ? 


My previous message never made it to the list - I don't see it on the archives 
either...

I don't see my setup trying to update the plugins - When nessusd starts it 
outputs in nessusd.messages that it will update plugins every 24 hours, but 
there's not mentioning later that that's the case.

Also, if a new plugin was released, how would I know that I do actually have it 
?

If I do run nessus-update-plugins by hand, it gets the new plugins and also 
records the event in nessusd.messages.

[Thu May 11 12:20:47 2006][21688] Caught HUP signal - recompiling the plugins 
and restart nessusd [Thu May 11 12:22:58 2006][21688] received the USR1 signal 
[Thu May 11 12:23:01 2006][481] nessusd-update: started. Will update plugins 
every 24 hours [Thu May 11 12:23:01 2006][482] nessusd 3.0.2 (build 147) started

Finally, I would appreciate a nessus-update-plugins option to check for updates 
but do nothing.

TIA...
