[Casper] Script to open an app after install

[Miles Leacy]

I haven't tested this, it's just an idea off the top of my head...
Given:
Policies run as root.
An "open" command run as root won't open the item in another user's session
(I believe).

Try:

#!/bin/bash

if [ `who | grep -c "$3"` -gt 0 ] ; then
     su $3
     open /Applications/Utilities/MyApp.app
  else echo "No user is logged in"
fi

Assuming I have my syntax right (and I'm not at a point in my day where I
can test this), this will test to see if $3 is logged in ($3 being the
username of the logged-in user as passed by Casper).  If $3 is logged in,
the script will switch users to $3 from root, then run the open command.
