Hey, thanks for using adsys and provide some suggestions to make it better.

We already support scripts (machine and users) on boot/shutdown and login/log off. You can find more documentation about them in https://documentation.ubuntu.com/adsys/en/latest/explanation/scripts/.

We don’t support one off scripts though so far. Couldn’t that policy lifecycle works for you? What would be the limitation and use case where this doesn’t work?
