We try to make every effort to test the live system. For example, we
occasionally get false positive reports from customers who say that
a machine is patched, yet Nessus is showing the machine to still be
vulnerable because the machine STILL IS vulnerable, and requires a
reboot.

Are you asking to be able to scan for a machine that is in the state
of needed to be rebooted?
