[Casper] Script help

Hi-

What's the best way to have a machine report its DAT anti-virus level?  We use McAfee VirusScan 8.6.1, which stores its dats in /usr/local/vscanx/dats  All I really need is an "ls" on that folder as the folders contained within "dats" are the dat levels, e.g. "5443" for the most recent.  The resource kit has a nice script, but it's for Virex.  VirusScan doesn't have the uvscan command that the script references (or at least not that I'm aware of)

Anyway...

At my old job I used Apple Remote Desktop and could just display the results of an LS command on my admin workstation.  How do I get something similar with Casper?

I was thinking that I'd have a script do an LS on /usr/local/vscanx/dats and pipe that to a file that used a query to networksetup to name it the name of the computer.  Then, I'd copy it to my CasperShare.  Wrong way about it?

Thanks!!!
