Most of the time, you don't have to bother with that. There are two
exceptions where you want to disable a script for some systems:
- to speed Nessus up, if you are 100% sure that the flaw can only
exists in one OS,
- to remove false positives.
In the first case, you may use script_require_keys, and the test will
be disabled if the KB item is not here, _if_ "optimize test" is on.
In the second case, you have to write something like:
os = get_kb_item("Host/OS");
if("Windows" >!< os) exit(0);
(see backorifice1.nasl for example)
