nessusd killing and and still getting the logs
Hello all-
I was looking through the man pages for nessus and could not find anything on this, but I was wondering if there is a "safe" way to terminate a nessus scan forked from a cron job?
Also - if killed, does NESSUS save off it's log files so that you can review them? We found some type of log files in /tmp, but we were wondering if there's another location to look as well?
Finally, if NESSUS crashes an application, or a server, is there a way, via the logs to see what plugin caused the incident?
Searching the NESSUS mail log yielded the following on the shutdown of the daemon - basically a init.d script setup:

However, I wanted to see if there is an updated solution anyone here may have.
We are currently using NESSUS 2.2.4
Thanks in advance and let me know if I can provide anymore information.
