If you want to check for a ports existance, I would just use nmap -p <port> <host> and wrap it in a shell script to generate a random value for the port

using nessus for this would be overkill, unless you were planning to an actual vulnerability scan. if you were planning on doing a vulnerability scan, I might suggest generating a nessusrc file that does what you want for a particular port, and then randomly changing the port. of course, this won't actually do proper vulnerability scans, since you would have to also change which plugins are available.

Is there any way to use the command-line batch mode interface to scan only
a single port (or a series of ports) on a host?� (and not the same single
port every time, but differnet ports with each invocation).
