| Subject: | Nessus client hangs while running from command line |

Hi All, I am running nessus server and client on ubuntu Linux. I have an issue with running nessus on command line. When I run nessus GUI client with default options the scan completes in 3-4 minutes. However when I run nessus command line client, it runs for 30 minutes and hangs for another 30 minutes before it exits. My target machine list contains just one host that runs on Solaris 2.8. Here is the command used to run the nessus client. nessus -V -T nbe -c .nessusrc <nessus_host> 1241 knoppix knoppix nessus_targets nessus_result.nbe The standard output from nessus contains list of port scans followed by attacks. The tail of standard output is as follows: attack|<target host ip>|1715|1905 attack|<target host ip>|1753|1905 attack|<target host ip>|1791|1905 attack|<target host ip>|1829|1905 attack|<target host ip>|1867|1905 attack|<target host ip>|1905|1905 I tried running it 4 times with some changes to config file (such as port range 1-65535), and the client hangs at this place every time. The GUI client completed successfully every time. Any hints to solve this problem will be very helpful. Thanks, Alex.
