I've installed Nessus on a fresh Ubuntu Server Install using the following steps:
$ sudo apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins
$ sudo update-rc.d nessusd defaults
$ sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/nessusd /etc/rc2.d/S20nessusd
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd start
$ sudo nessus-adduser
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd restart
$ nessus
Now, I would welcome any insight on using it from the command line exclusively. I would like it to run on the network, doing a full scan of vulnerabilities on a regular cycle and saving the report.
Thank you!
