Nessus cli scan question

Subject: Nessus cli scan question
Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 15:11:08 -0600
Hi, 

I seem to be having a problem with nessus when it comes to running 
command-line scans. 

I have a script set to include a large list of IP addresses in excess of 
300-500. 
When nessus begins the scan of these hosts, I look in nessusd.messages and 

it looks as though nessus is truncating the file and only including a 
specific number. 

Is anyone aware of a maximum number of individual hosts in a file that can 
be included 
in a scan? 

My syntax is as follows: 

nessus \ 
--output-type=nbe \ 
--config-file=/usr/local/nessus/primary.May.scan1 \ 
--batch-mode 172.23.16.5 1241 username password \ 
/usr/local/apache/scan/create-main/running/cr-1528/cr-svrs-20May05-1037 \ 
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/states/cr/critical/cr-svrs/done/nbe/cr-svrs-20May05-1037.nbe
 


The file: cr-svrs-20May05-1037 is the file that contains currently 505 
hosts. 

Any advice that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Chris
