nessus-update-plugins issue on Solaris X86 Platform

[Fred]

Hi Renaud,

The nessus-update-plugins script doesn't work on Solaris beacuse -C option is not supported on Solaris for tar extration(tar xvf).

I modified the code:

$gzip -cd all-2.0.tar.gz | tar $tar - -C "$pluginsdir/"
rm -f "$pluginsdir/MD5"
mv all-2.0.tar.gz.md5 "$pluginsdir/MD5"

to:

rm -f "$pluginsdir/MD5"
mv all-2.0.tar.gz.md5 "$pluginsdir/MD5"

$gzip -cd all-2.0.tar.gz > "$pluginsdir/all-2.0.tar"
cd "$pluginsdir"
tar $tar all-2.0.tar
rm all-2.0.tar

to make it work.

Thanks,
Fred
