[Casper] How to send unix commands via Casper

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Hi Jason,


 *   Open up a Casper to a Remote window
 *   Check all the machines you want to send the command to
 *   Go the advanced tab
 *   Enter your command into the Run Command field (check to run as root if necessary)
 *   Click GO

Or you could set it up as a policy to run at next startup or whenever. The top option assumes every machine you want to target will be on and accessible when you hit go.

Hello all..

We've been using Casper here for a few months now, and it's been working
great. For the most part we have been using packages for any configuration
and install procedures so have not needed to use scripts much other than to
trigger a package install or create user accounts.

My question is, how do you use Casper to send unix commands?

Example, I would like to change the proxy settings on all my Macs and I do
not want to copy out a plist.

With ARD I can just send out this command:

networksetup -setwebproxy "Built-in Ethernet" proxy.company.com 80

How would I accomplish this same thing in Casper??

Any help is much appreciated!
