NessusClient appears to have a similar command line.

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

So you should still be able to use the -c option.

I am running command-line scans, via cron, using the
NessusClient command-line interface. The help for it gives
example usage. You supply a config file as a parameter. I do not
have access to the machine right now, so I cannot send you a
sample.

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
