Operate in “quiet” mode, suppressing all messages to stdout.

Set a master password for the scanner.
If a master password is set, Nessus will encrypt all policies and any credentials contained in them with the user-supplied
key (considerably more secure than the default key). If a password is set, the web interface will prompt you for the
password during startup.
WARNING: If the master password is set and lost, it cannot be recovered by your administrator or Tenable
Support.
On Nessus in Unix and Mac OS X, nessus-service is a wrapper for nessusd. Tenable recommends using the
nessus-service on Unix and Mac OS X implementations instead of calling nessusd directly.
An example of the command line usage is shown below:
Linux:
# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-service [-vhD] [-c <config-file>] [-p <port-number>] [-a
<address>] [-S <ip[,ip,...]>]
FreeBSD:
# /usr/local/nessus/sbin/nessus-service [-vhD] [-c <config-file>] [-p <port-number>] [-a
<address>] [-S <ip[,ip,...]>]
Mac OS X:
# Library/Nessus/run/sbin/nessus-service [-vhD] [-c <config-file>] [-p <port-number>] [-a
<address>] [-S <ip[,ip,...]>]
