Yes I restarted it multiple times. It still doesnt show up. The exact
sequence of steps I have followed is
1. Create a new nasl file in the plugins/scripts directory
2. test for errors using "nasl -p" -> passes
3. run build.exe (it increments the plugin count, thereby indicating that
the new plugin has been compiled)
4. restart nessusd (by toggling the greed/red button on the server gui) and
also tried rebooting the machine

I have used script id 99999, is there anyplace I have to specify the allowed
range of IDs?

Thanks!
