I've got "ping_hosts" enabled, but I'm getting the following in my report:
unknown (ping_host.nasl not launched?)\n\n
If I disable it I get no live hosts at all so it does appear to work,
but then I don't understand the above message.

=======================
I run a scan like:
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -c nessusrc -T nbe -xq 127.0.0.1 1241 userid
password rangefile.txt outputfile
The nessusrc file has these options in regards to ping :
(at the beginnging of the file)
ping the remote host = yes
(at the beginning of the file)
ping_hosts = yes
(at the end of the file)
Ping the remote host[entry]:TCP ping destination port(s) : =
22,25,53,80,256,259,264,900,953,981,1080,1201,2809,2998,3128,4100,5600,9495,18182
Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do an ARP ping = no
Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do a TCP ping = no
Ping the remote host[checkbox]:Do an ICMP ping = no
Ping the remote host[entry]:Number of retries (ICMP) : = 6
