[Casper] after image, first time run scripts

Well, my main reason is everything is set up via FQDN and sometimes I
image on separate VLANs behind routers behind NAT so I can use higher
speed giga switches, and I don't have everything set up in the router
for it to work via FQDN. 

I know I can do it by IP but I have set bind policies to run at reboot
and they don't always run.  Would like to store a small little script
locally that as a log in item, when the hidden local admin logs in for
the very first time it runs, executes, then never again runs. 

I also use non standard OS X permissions and want it to make sure every
package under /Applications has the following 

owner:  root 
group:  admin 
rwx set to 775 

/Applications/Utilities is 

owner :  root 
group:  admin 
rwx set to 770 

I toss everything I don't want people to have access to into
/Applications/Utilities.  I currently have a policy that is set to on
going and it does work, but it spams my database with updates all the
time.  I want this to be ongoing in case any one besides me builds
packages and deploys them, because I know some people won't fix
permissions on the package itself. 

I am just exploring other ideas to keep it on the machine locally so the
JSS doesn't have to interact with it and it could be on a part of the
network that is not active and still get updated with the proper
settings.

I’m not being helpful today, but I HAD to make a comment...

Some of you people really do some CRAZY things!

I’ll echo along with Miles though on the launchd preference, and wonder
why not using at reboot options for scripts with Casper?
