Arachni and wapiti I would highly recommend running separately from
OpenVAS. These tools can be highly customized to be as effective as
possible for web applications, and any generic check that runs them will
certainly not be the optimal settings for your web applications.

In fact, archni just went through a major rewrite, most of the command line
arguments have been changed. I would not be surprised if the arachni check
were broken by this latest rewrite.

These should be separate touch points in your environment scanning and not
be embedded in a solution like OpenVAS.
