Have you personally tried using a dedicated copy of ARD as a Task

find it works -- well or flaky?
well, it's not strictly a task server, so you have to keep that in
mind, but
in general, it works well. One thing I've thought about is using
text files
and a folder action to do this, as I RARELY just carpetbomb with
the -a
option.
Just put the name of the update in the file, and copy it to the proper
folder. I've become really addicted to folder actions and Apple Remote
Desktop. Firefox updates? Drag, drop, done. Virex updates? Drag,
drop, done.
I never even SEE Apple Remote Desktop with folder actions. My Dock has
gotten even MORE ridiculous in size, but that's okay, less work for
me.
Hmm, interesting -- thanks John. I'm not responsible for application
updates (that's someone else), but I am responsible for pushing out
OS X updates. I am yet to even delve into folder actions at all,
maybe I should get off my rear and look!
Chris
