defaults output data

[#1]

I have a UNIX command I can feed to our Macs that returns value of 0 or 1.

Using the defaults read command on a plist reports the output. I use awk to just show me that a machine has 0 or 1.

My question is, is there a way to have Casper report that info or store it?

The values represent if a certain preference is enabled or not. It would help me better figure out if users have something enabled. Thanks.

Sure, you can use a dummy package. You could case your 0 or 1 output and on
each case run a touch command. Look at the script below as an example. I
wanted to find out if a machine had a GUID partition table or Apple
partition table. Casper will recon the dummy package as a regular piece of
Casper-installed software and you can scope on that receipt's presense, for
instance.
