OK, I've looked around but I haven't found any directions for this. I'm trying to write a script that will run a nessus scan after hours on our workstations. The scan needs to use multiple plugins (more than can be listed easily with the -i option). I noticed in the User Guide, on UNIX something like this can be done using the command: /opt/nessus/bin/nessus --dot-nessus scan.nessus --policy 'Full Safe w/ Compliance' <host> <port> <user> <password> <results-file> This command does not work on Windows. I found an older note that indicated how to run the scan from the command line with all the plugins enabled: NessusCmd localhost allsafe NessusCmd 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10 all But neither of those seem to work any longer. Is there a command for windows that I can use from the command line to enable all or select categories of plugins? Is there an equivalent command in windows where I can ID a .nessus file and a certain policy in that file when scanning from the command line? Thanks. Craig L.
