I see many plugins use exit(0) when something happens that makes the test impossible. For instance, the virus scanner checks just exit if they can't reach the registery. I need some sort of information to establish that the test *failed* vs. there is a virus scanner and it is working. As it is, they don't seem to differentiate those two possibilities. There also doesn't seem to be any error message functions to be able to pass error messages back to the scanner. There are only the security_* functions. So, how would one notify the scanner that the test could not be done? I am using this system in a NetReg environment where users will not be able to register if McAfee or Norton are not installed, running, and up to date. So far, my tests have all "succeeded" when the registry or running services information was inaccessable! Not exactly helpful that. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Plugins-writers mailing list Plugins-writers@private http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/plugins-writers
