[Casper] How to send unix commands via Casper

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Why make it a script? That's an extra step. Just add that command to the advanced tab of the policy.

Easy cheesy

I have like, 20 different configuration scripts running as simple policies for things just like that, proxies, preferences, removing unwanted or old software, changing passwords, etc.

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!
