The batch mode (-q) arguments are :

        port     : nessusd host port
        user     : user name
        pass     : password
        targets  : file containing the list of targets
        result   : name of the file where
                   nessus will store the results

General options :
        -v : shows version number
        -h : shows this help
        -T : Output format: 'nbe', 'nsr', 'html', 'nessus' or 'txt'
        -V : make the batch mode display status messages
            to the screen.
        -x : override SSL "paranoia" question preventing nessus from
            checking certificates.

Command line report export






I was wondering if there was a way to run a nessus scan from start to end 
using the command-line. I need to script the running of a nessus scan on a 

regular basis and it would be nice to kick it off at the command-line and 
then have the results exported as an HTML file to a desired location at 
the end.

Also, it is possible to import the results of an NMAP scan into nessus to 
avoid having to double scan hosts ? Seems like a waste if I've already 
scanned 65535 ports using NMAP.

Thanks,

Chris
