nessusjob

Was lazy to memorise the Nessus commands to start/stop the service as well as update its plugins so I decided to dump them into the following script.

#!/bin/sh
echo "\033[0;34mPrepping Nessus for scanning.\033[0m"
sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd stop
echo "\033[0;31mUpdating Nessus plugins.\033[0m"
sudo /opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-update-plugins
echo "\033[0;31mStart Nessus service.\033[0m"
sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd start
echo "\033[0;31mAccess Nessus console on https://127.0.0.1:8834.\033[0m"
