Possible to perform Nessus scan to retrieve results only for Plugin 11936

[Rakesh Thakoordyal]

Hello,

Is it possible to perform a Nessus scan from the command line where I can specify that I only want to find the results of plugin id 11936?  Maybe I need to modify something in the nessus config file?  I tried playing around with it, but I find no way of issuing a command where I can only get the results of this specific plugin.  I get an XML result file.

Is this possible?

You need to be using Nessus 3 and then check out the "nessuscmd" command line
tool. It's covered in the documentation and we blogged about it while Nessus
3.2 was still in beta here: http://blog.tenablesecurity.com/2007/07/nessus-32-beta-.html
