    Updating nessus plugins in KNOPPIX

    Assuming you have enough memory, you can use the following shell script to configure nessus to use the ramdisk to get the latest updated nessus plugins:

    #!/bin/sh

    if ! [ "$USER" = 'root' ]
    then
    echo "You must be root to run this script!!"
    exit 1
    fi

    echo "Removing symlink to nessus in etc directory"
    rm -rf /etc/nessus

    echo "(Re)creating nessus directories under ramdisk"
    rm -rf /ramdisk/nessus
    mkdir /ramdisk/nessus
    mkdir /ramdisk/nessus/plugins

    echo "creating symlink back to /etc/nessus"
    ln -s /ramdisk/nessus /etc/nessus

    echo "Moving all nessus files from CD to ramdisk"
    cp /KNOPPIX/etc/nessus/* /ramdisk/nessus

    echo "Updating location of plugins in nessusd.conf"
    cat /ramdisk/nessus/nessusd.conf | grep -v "plugins_folder" > /ramdisk/scratch
    mv -f /ramdisk/scratch /ramdisk/nessus/nessusd.conf
    echo "plugins_folder = /ramdisk/nessus/plugins" >> /ramdisk/nessus/nessusd.conf

    echo "updating plugins"
    /usr/sbin/nessus-update-plugins -v
