Hello! New to Automox!

Trying to install a tenable agent on linux ubuntu server.

this is my script:

1 #!/bin/bash
2 dpkg -i NessusAgent-10.0.1-ubuntu1110_amd64.deb
3 /sbin/service nessusagent start
4 /opt/nessus_agent/sbin/nessuscli agent link --key=fcc9aea6f008dc2af0f5b83e5619d0b98da0a1c292d8f6658a65c8029a1f6151 --host=totalcareauto.com --port=8834

 

and this is the error

First, welcome to the AX Community @clinton.child! Second...I don’t think I’ve seen that error, so let me check with our Support team. Have you opened a ticket with them, by any chance?

I did submit a ticket this morning.

Instead of /sbin/service nessusagent start have you tried just  service nessusagent start or /usr/sbin/service nessusagent start?  Looks like /sbin may not be in your path.

i tried /sbin/service nessusagent start  and got the same error.

I tried  /usr/sbin/service nessusagent start

and i got the error below

Not sure that’s an error, it just looks like a progress indicator.  Properly formatted it looks like this:

Can you check and see if the agent is running?

it was showing as an event type “error” so i assumed it was.

 

Tenable console does list it but it may need a reboot to complete the agent install.  i woun’t be able to reboot until tonight

agent not loaded (not showing up in the tenable console) after a reboot
