Re: Script phases

[Gordon Fyodor Lyon <fyodor () nmap org>]

Hi Mehrin.  Host and service script types (which are the vast majority of
scripts) are both run during the "Script scanning" Nmap phase.  Nmap has
separate overall phases for prerule and postrule scripts specifically, so
they are split out in the main Nmap scanning phase documentation.

I hope this helps!
