If you want to check for a ports existance, I would just use nmap -p

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.

No. I know what port is open, so I don't want to run the nmap scan. I just want to run nessus against a specific port that I know is open that can vary from invocation to invocation.
