I use the words unstabilities since I can obtain nikto results from other
clients such as NessWX and NessusClients(Boss) but this is not
stable.Inother words I sometimes obtain results sometimes not although
conditions are
same. This is also true for NessJ clients when I choose nikto and also other
plugins.
I choose nikto plugin and also related two preferences Enable Nikto test
and Force Full(generic) scan.
When I look at the nessus.messages logs , I see that in every case ,whether
I obtain result or not, nikto.nasl plugin is launched.But the messages which
show the time of jobs different.So I try to use different timeout values but
I could not solve the my problem.
Thank you for your attention.

I try to find reasons of nikto results' unstabilities.
What exactly do you mean by "unstabilities"? From your message, it seems
like you get results only when you use Nessj; otherwise, the plugin runs
but exits immediately / almost immediately. This suggests the problem is
not one of the plugin's stability but rather that you're having trouble
properly configuring the clients: subtle differences in the
configurations could very easily explain the different / lack of results
you're seeing.
For example, when you don't get any results, have you specifically
enabled the Nikto plugin? You not only need to select the plugin but
there's also a preference ("Enable Nikto") that must checked or the
plugin exits immediately.
