Hi,
nessus-update-plugins
The program 'wget' can not be found or executed
Please configure this script by changing the option
$fetch_cmd or by installing wget

You get this error because wget is used for downloading plugins from nessus site. And the script could not find the wget in it's PATH.

Look at the nessus-update-plugins script,

# The command we use to retrieve the plugins
#
fetch_cmd="/usr/local/bin/wget"

You have to install wget in your machine or edit this script such that fetch_cmd points to some other downolader
that you have in your system.


If you have wget installed in your ssytem, check whether
wget is under "/usr/local/bin". If not, edit the script such
that "fetch_cmd" points to the exact path of wget.

HTH;
