Re: How to produce a list of target subnets?

Yeah, but I want to automate everything (except for reviewing the 
results).  So I doing everything on the cmd line.  So I'm doing 
something like

/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -T nessus -xq localhost 1241 admin secret  
/tmp/targets.txt /tmp/report.nessus

And it doesn't handle hypens in /tmp/targets.txt. At least I haven't 
been able to convince it to do so.

/tmp/targets.txt is generated from a script.
