If you wanted to pass params to nessus via the cli for batch processing you could do something like this: nessus -x -T text -c $_nessus_conf -q 127.0.0.1 1241 <nessususername> <pass> <target_file> <outputfile> *Note* These notes are from shell scripts that are a few years old. I haven't done this on a newer version of nessus so you may want to check it out.

Once you do that, check your .nessusrc file, and you'll see the available nmap options you can set for your Nessus scans on both the commandline and when using the GUI client.
