Interacting with running nessus scans

Subject: Interacting with running nessus scans
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 09:15:54 -0600
I am looking for a way to interactively stop nessus scans that are
started via the command line and not with the client GUI.  Currently
when I kill the process, nessus will not dump the data it has already
gathered to an output file, it will just exit and the data is lost.
This functionality is desired because I scan very large networks and
sometimes I need to see some immediate results.

I plan to write a wrapper for the CLI client so that when it is killed
with 'control + c' it exits and saves all the current data even if it is
incomplete.  I have not found any documentation outlining this
capability, but it must exist since scans can be stopped via the GUI
client.  Let me know if any of you have any information regarding this
kind of functionality.

Thanks in advance,
Jake
