You can use the -c option to specify the rc file.

nessus [-vnh] [-c .rcfile] [-V] [-T <format>]

Hi,
I'm having the hardest time with the command-line usage.  I have the
latest version installed (3.0.1) and have used the GUI client (it's really
nice).

I'm trying to setup some CRON jobs for regular scanning but can't seem to
get the command-line format to run Nessus correctly.  In the GUI, I have
created a task and a scope.  Below my home directory, I see the following
path and file:

~/.nessus/Monthly_Scans/External_Scope/nessusrc

I would like to be able to use that file's settings for the scan that I
launch in the cron job.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
