I am using Fedora 8 with the latest non-beta versions of Nessus and the Nessus 
Client installed. I was wondering if there was a command that I could run to 
force Nessus to update its plugins or to show the date of the last update. When 
I run /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --check I do get the "nessus-fetch is 
properly configured to receive a Registered feed" response, and in nessusd.conf 
the auto_update option is set to "yes", but I would like to verify myself that 
the latest plugins are installed.

In Nessus for Windows there is an excellent Plugins Update Wizard that gives 
the user the control to download and install the latest plugins. Is there 
something like this in the Nessus version for Linux? Nessus 2 allowed you to 
run the nessus-update-plugins command but I don't think this exists in Nessus 3.

I would appreciate a clarification on this topic. Thank you very much.
