Scripting permissions repair?



Is there a way to shell-script permissions repair without knowing the disk's BSD name in advance, wrap it in a script-only package, then use ARD to push the package over the network? There shouldn't be a problem with the packaging once I have the script, but I'm not sure where to begin with the script after having looked at the diskutil command. It looks like it wants a specific ID for the drive and I'm curious to know if anybody's run into, and fixed, this problem.

For example, when I take a look at the boot partition (I have a 250GB drive with three partitions) on my desktop Mac through Apple System Profiler, it shows up as disk0 for the BSD name. On my PowerBook, where I have one partition set up, the drive shows up as disk0s9. Does this matter to the the diskutil command, or can I tell it to just look for the active boot partition and fix the permissions on that?

Thanks,
Rich
