Nessus vulnerability scanner

Submitted by Neminath on Wed, 2008-07-16 11:49.

I installed nessus 3.21 on my ubuntu box.i want to use only command mode scanning.so did try to scan the machine with following command

  • nessus -q -x -T html localhost 7143 neminath  123456 scanlist.txt resultsfile.html
its saying unknown command nessus.but nessusd is running on my box on port 7143 which i could find out with
  • ps -e |grep nessusd
if i navigate to the :/opt/nessus/bin directory and try this
  •  ./nessus -q -x -T html localhost 7143 neminath  123456 scanlist.txt resultsfile.html
i ended up gettingnessus : Could not open a connection to localhost what might be the problem?any help?
