Nessus 3 does not update plugins list without nessusd restart

Subject: Nessus 3 does not update plugins list without nessusd restart

Hi,

Let me explain the following scenario:

- Linux server running nessus 3 with about 10K plugins

When I run "nessus -qxpS host 1241 user pass" remotely it returned a list 
in sql format of plugins installed. Ok! about 10K.

My nessusd.conf has the following settings:
auto_update = yes
auto_update_delay = 24

After some weeks, nessus reached 11K plugins download and installed 
automatically. But the problem is: As I did not restart nessusd, when I 
run "nessus -qxpS host 1241 user pass" again it returns the same 10K 
plugins. It seems that I need to restart nessusd in order to have all the 
latest plugins returned via "nessus -qxpS host 1241 user pass".

I need the plugins list in order to populate a SQL Database.
