ARD 3 Task Server Copy File

Hello everyone,

Just got ARD 3 recently and I am loving it so far. The increased copy speed is absolutely great. One oddity I have discovered however, You can only schedule package install tasks on a task server. This seems a huge limitation, and doesn't make much sense to me. Specifically, why can't you copy a file out as a scheduled task, to install a package it has to copy it anyway, so copying files seems even simpler than distributing a package. I know I could just create a package that accomplishes that same task, but this seems to be a simple UI limitation plus for single files that I want copied out to all machines in a lab regardless of whether they are on right now it is more arduous than necessary. Could we expect the copy file function being schedulable on a remote task server as a point release update?

Also it would be really awesome to be able to use a remote task server to issue unix commands, especially software update and the restart command.
