Right on the money as usual. I ran the command w/ -v and it indeed was running the scripting engine. I checked the 
script and as Rob suggested, it only outputs if a vulnerable state is found. I made a copy of the script to a personal 
folder and modified it so that "not vulnerable" would print in those cases and sure enough, I got it to output. 

Thanks Rob! This list is top-notch as always.
