I haven't tried it, but just by quick (early morning) scanning, I think 
it is still going to leave the actual value of $cmd in whichever rc.* 
file it ends up putting it in? It also looks like since it is actually 
creating $rebooted_state_file every time it runs, it will still even run 
every time the system boots? I think this is meant to be a first-boot 
style script, so it should only be executed once when the system boots 
after imaging, correct?

It really makes no difference to me how this is implemented, but I do 
think what I proposed is slightly cleaner, as it totally removes all 
traces of it self from the imaged systems.

My 2 cents,

Matt
