Nessus 2.x is not a package -- therefore it does not start at bootup  
since it does not really integrate with your local operating system.  
Nessus 3.x on the other hand is a real package for the supported OSes  
and therefore does contain a proper init.d script.

To disable autostart, simply do chkconfig nessusd off (RPMs) or chmod  
-x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nessusd.sh (FreeBSD)
