thanks everyone for their input. Corne; your instructions were on point with
what I was looking for; but also alluded me to the point that i was missing a
capital letter in my path [downside of using windows sometimes we forget].
Everything works fine now and I got the scan working.
Again thank you all.

Subject: Re: Command-line in linux
Your text file should have one line in for the range you wish to scan:
Example:
1.1.1.0/24
Example the text file is called "text" and is in your home dir
command will look something like this
# /opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q -T html 127.0.0.1 1241 <nessus user> <nessus
password> /home/user/text /opt/nessus/target_dir/reports/scan.html
The command, to scan to filetype "html" from server IP, on port, nessus
user and password, file to get ip ranges from and file where to scan
results to.
Hope this makes sense.

After paintfully installing nessus on Mandrivia... I am using the
command-line interface due to problems getting pre-reqs for the GUI.
Anyway; when I want to run a scan for vulnerabilities it asks for a
target file. I was wondering if the target file has to be txt or how
it has to be formatted.
When I input the command I have it in a folder called target so my
target file path in the command says:
/home/rajin/desktop/target/target.txt
I have also used
/home/rajin/desktop/target (with the file residing in there)
when I run the command it says it cannot be found.
I was wondering exactly how the target file system works under the
command line in linux.
