Anyone know of a program that will create a Boot CD, that runs an AppleScript at boot, to do run the Terminal command "sudo asr -target ... -source ... -erase -noprompt" and restart when it's finished?

It would be similiar to Symantec Norton Ghost for Windows, I have the .dmg file, I just dont want to run around the room, and individually 'blast' the computers with the new image file, with a removable hard drive.


Or anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this?
 
I recently ran into Mike Bombich at a conference and he indicated to me he's got something like this on the roadmap that would use Netboot instead (an improvement over his current 1.3 version of NetRestore). There is some documentation on his site about creating a bootcd for recovery purposes. I bet you could modify the bootcd function to include an applescript that ran on boot, grabbed the image from a network sharepoint and imaged the machine.

Hope this helped.
 
Yes, that is exactly what I need, I have all the tools, etc necessary for it, I just need THE Script itself, and know the way to implement it to run at OS Bootup.
