Is it really Nessus's job ? I mean, this would be a great feature, but
maybe you want to write a small "wake-on-lan" scanner that would do the
job. Otherwise, assuming that nessusd _did_ send a wake-on-lan before
the scan, it would have to wait ~ 60 seconds, sometimes much more, to be
sure that every host has had the time to boot up properly...
