commandline questions

Subject: commandline questions

I have some questions about nessus command line and was hoping I could
get some help.  My goal is to have Nessus 3.0.3 run scans via the cron
but each cronjob has different parameters.
How can I set nessus to use certain plugins & ports for certain scans
and other plugins/ports for another scan.  I believe this is set via
your .nessusrc but I see that my .nessusrc has
port_range = default    #  is this 1-65535?
I read about update-nessusrc
http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/ .  Is this my best/only
way of doing this?

I am going to setup a MySQL db for Nessus but still want to save the
output as html and as nbe (so I can import it into my db).  Is there a
way I can get Nessus to output the results as nbe and as html or do I
have to run nessus -i file.nbe -o file.html after my scan?

Thanks,
Nick Baronian
