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".


nessusd should have restarted. Could you tell us more about the OS/ distro you use and send us the output of :

grep nessusd-update /opt/nessus/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages


Thanks,

                                -- Renaud
