This is one I put together for my RH7 box. (see below)
When redhat boots, it will give you the status just like all the other
services.
(i.e. [OK] or [FAILED] etc.)
Filename is: /etc/init.d/nessusd
Then create a link to it in /etc/rc3.d (I named the link S98nessusd)
i.e.
From /etc/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/nessusd S98nessusd
This works great on my box. Hope it helps.

Subject: Starting Nessus at Boot (RH 7.1)
All,
Apologies if I've missed this somwhere, but does anyone have a start-up
script for Nessusd that would allow the daemon to be started at boot time?
(RedHat 7.1) I've looked through the documentation and wanted to make sure
one doesn't already exist before I put something together myself.
Thanks in advance,
