That's one way to do it, but impractical for my particular situation (would take too long to explain).

Perhaps this is a reasonable RFE?

Actions which need to occur pre- and post-scanning are a recurring pattern. Adding a pair of categories with one-time activation per scan (e.g., 'ACT_PRESCAN', 'ACT_POSTSCAN') would be useful for many contexts which Nessus otherwise fits into very well.

Are there plugin categories within the Nessus 2.2.x implementation similar to 'ACT_INIT' and 'ACT_END' but which are run only once (i.e., once per scan vs. once per target) -- at the beginning and end of a scan, respectively?


Not directly. One way to do this though is to create three nessusrc configuration files, the first and last with the plugins you want run at the begining and end respectively. Then run three consecutive scans.
