I think i answer this particular question about once a week. Probably time
to make an unofficial FAQ to answer this stuff :)

 why don't you just edit your .nessusrc file to include only the tests you
want (you will need to know the plugin number)

then use the command line nessus client to schedule the test via cron and
you can use it's switches to produce the output in the format you want

so you could for example have it make generate html with graphs and put it
in your (secured!) web server directory


I sympathise, nessus is *very* good but documentation is lacking. If it
was thoroughly documented, it could be killer huge, and hopefully the devs
would get more money too from people asking for their company support...

I have a requirement to run some specific tests at certain intervals.  How
do I setup the nessus configuration files to do this?  For example, I want
to ping a host and execute all of the MS-SQL tests against the device.  I
can't seem to find an answer.

I am quite content with editing a file to do what I need, since this is
only periodic audit work I use it for and doing batch jobs on the Nessus
server works just fine since there is a lot of address space to deal with.

Thanks,

Chris
