Throw nessus-update-plugins into /etc/cron.daily This will fire the script each day and grab any updates that are out there.

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.
