Daily command line scans stopped working yesterday and I can find no
entries that reference any problems. This is a scripted process and the
only change (that I can think of or find) would be the plugins. A restart
of the nessus daemon was successful but the scan attempt exhibited the
same behavior. I have also attempted to use the gui and create a
different .rc file but the gui scan exits just as quickly without
attempting to scan.
There are no other errors on the system and everything else appears to
work.
I suspect I've apparently screwed something up, but I cannot figure out
what it is. Any suggestions on what else I can look for?
======== Other Information =======
The index file only contains the IP addresses requested.
The NBE output file for the scan only states that the scan was started
