FW: Nmap time-out issue.

[Carlos Piloto Fonseca <carlos () segurmatica cu>]

Hy all.

I'm using nmap to automate scans to some hosts.
Some hosts take a long time to respond making slowly its scans, so I need to establish a time-out because I have a 
limited time to scan.
If the host reached the time-out specified, nmap ends without showing the information of the open ports in the xml 
report (-oX option), even if in this moment nmap had detected open ports.

So my question is:
Exist any configuration that allows us send the report to an xml file the information that nmap had collected, even in 
the case that the host reached the time-out?


Regards
Carlos
