RE: Nessus-Nmap command line

["Clemens, Dan" <Dan.Clemens () healthsouth com>]

If you wanted to pass params to nessus via the cli for batch processing you could do something like this:
 
nessus -x -T text -c $_nessus_conf -q 127.0.0.1 1241 <nessususername> <pass> <target_file> <outputfile> 
     
*Note* These notes are from shell scripts that are a few years old. I haven't done this on a newer version of nessus so 
you may want to check it out.

Sounds like a question better suited for the Nessus list, but since I happen to know the answer, .. :)

You have to install the nmap.nasl on your server first (see www.nessus.org for the docs), then configure it via the GUI 
client.  Once you do that, check your .nessusrc file, and you'll see the available nmap options you can set for your 
Nessus scans on both the commandline and when using the GUI client.

Hi,

I have seen in nessus client the option to use nmap as scanner, but I can't find the nessus command line in order to 
use nmap. Does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks,
