Hello

As I am interessed by using the .nessus file format, in batch scans, I tried some scans with the same .nessus file, either from the NessusClient
or from the cmd line.

My configuration :

-- Ubuntu 8.04 fresh reinstallation (disk broken last weak) upbates applied
-- nessus (Nessus) 3.2.1 for Linux
-- NessusClient v3.2.1.1 (build 2G301_Q)

and a fresh installation of all plugins.

What I noticed is that scans launched from NessusClient appeared in short format and 12 hours formats
and those launched from nessus had the long time 24 hours format whereas the Start/stop of the scan are both 
in long time 24 hours format :

fgrep ReportName My_Laptop.nessus

<startTime>Mon Sep 29 14:23:38 2008</startTime>
<startTime>Mon Sep 29 14:54:56 2008</startTime>

May be a little thing, but an homogenous time date format help in digging the results.

Best regards
