nessus: link binaries

Important: Do not tick a checkbox if you haven’t performed its action. Honesty is indispensable for a smooth review process.

In the following questions <cask> is the token of the cask you're submitting.

After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:

• The submission is for a stable version or documented exception.
• brew audit --cask --online <cask> is error-free.
• brew style --fix <cask> reports no offenses.

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

• Named the cask according to the token reference.
• Checked the cask was not already refused (add your cask's name to the end of the search field).
• brew audit --cask --new <cask> worked successfully.
• HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask> worked successfully.
• brew uninstall --cask <cask> worked successfully.

See https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/5845. Ideally some of these binaries should be linked to the sbin folder instead of bin, but I found no ways to do this.

If the upstream pkg doesn't install it, should we?

Upstream has documentation that reference these binaries, linking them just makes them more accessible. For example see https://docs.tenable.com/nessus/command-line-reference/Content/ResetRegistrationAndEraseSettings.htm

@SMillerDev Is it at all possible to link cask binaries to /opt/homebrew/sbin? Either way I want to mark this one as ready.

What happens if you use target on the binary?

@bevanjkay Specifying a path using#{prefix}/sbin/nessuscli didn't work, it complained Unexpected method 'prefix' called on Cask. Seems #{prefix} isn't available for casks. Hardcoding the path worked but that obviously isn't ideal.

target: "../sbin/nessuscli" worked fine. Is there a better way?

[i0ntempest]

Marked as ready.
