Hi there I run nessus from cron with a "static" nessrc config file - enabling this and disable that, etc. Then I do a nessus-update-plugins - what happens next? Do any new plugins automatically get activated? I know that if I update the plugins and then start the GUI, some of those plugins do become enabled, and via "follow dependencies" can easily end up with tonnes of plugins becoming activate when I didn't want them to. I want to routinely update the plugins, but I don't want to have to routinely "hand-edit" (even if via the GUI) nessusrc again. Is there a way around this? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
