Created attachment 325772 [details] systemd service unit file for the Nessus daemon Hello there! The current version of Nessus is 5.0.1, however the latest version supported by the nessus-bin ebuild is 4.4.1. I would like to request an update. From what I can see all one has to do here is change the version number on the existing ebuild file, therefore I am not attaching an updated ebuild to conserve server storage space. Then again, I have attached a basic systemd unit file which appears to work fine with this version of nessus. Let me know if you need any more information.

(In reply to comment #1) > Can anybody from systemd team review attached file? I am not familiar with > systemd at all... Well, it is fine if `nessus-service --quiet` doesn't fork. But you probably want to drop the 'Type=simple' line, it is the default.
I believe it should be okay - nessus-service spawns nessusd but it does it via clone() instead of fork(), and more importantly it never terminates while the latter's running. In fact, a quick look at the output of strace run on nessus-service suggests it does the following: - installs custom signal handlers for its SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP, with the former two shutting things down (as expected) and the latter causing a configuration reload; - writes its own PID to /opt/nessus/var/nessus/nessus-service.pid; - clones itself and execs nessusd in the clone. NB. It is entirely possible to launch nessusd directly, however it makes it impossible to use SIGHUP to reload configuration.
