I have been working on this and finally got it to work, heres what I
did...
# crontab -l (shows cron jobs)
# crontab -e (edits cron jobs)
Insert...
# * * * * * /opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q -T html 127.0.0.1 1241 username
password /home/reports/addresses.txt /home/reports/scan.html
Look up Crontab and you'll see what value to put for the stars. We scan
at the first of every month.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Options for command line scanning
Hi all,
I'm trying to setup a cron job to scan certain hosts on specific ports
(output from a previously-run nmap scan), but every option I've tried
just displays the help screen. Is it possible to do this from the
command line? I know how to do it with a GUI client, but I'm trying to
automate the process. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
