OK... So a rotate script like the following should work for nessus 3.0.3?

mv -f /var/log/nessus/nessus.dump /var/log/nessus/nessus.dump.1
kill -1 `cat /opt/nessus/var/nessus/nessusd.pid`

Yes. Actually, you can even skip the 'kill -1' part as nessusd periodically checks for the inode # of the file so it will re-open it on its own.
