How do I tell nessus which config file to use when I run it at the command
line? i didn't see a way to do this but I may just be overlooking it.
I also didn't see a place to export the config file in the gui, but once again
I may just have overlooked it.
Thank you.

How can I specify which plugins to use? I googled a bit but can't figure it

Hi John,
I suggest that you make a config file via the nessus GUI containing just
the plugins you want and then setup your cronjob to use the ~/.nessusrc file.
Second, how can I reduce what the log files show? I don't care about the open
ports because I usually know what is open where, and it'll confuse the person
I send the reports to.
To reduce what the log files show you can set "Report Verbosity"
to "Quiet". I think you meant though that you want to filter the reports (i.e.
YourResults.nbe) in which case I suggest:
1. Do not run any port scanners in your audit
2. If you write your results to an NBE file then it should be pretty
easy to filter out information that you do not want. For example
grep Hole YourResults.nbe > EditedResults.nbe
You can then convert the editied NBE file to other formats.
