What commands/templates/Saved Tasks do you add in your ARD3 Admin?

Question

I posted this question two years ago - thought it might be good to revisit.
Saved UNIX commands:
+good for slower machines and power users:+
defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool YES
+set ARD Computer Information fields; change -set1 and -1 to 2, 3, or 4 for other fields:+
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ki ckstart -configure -computerinfo -set1 -1 ""
+set ARD Comp Info field #1 to shortname of currently logged in user:+
export WHOAMI=$(who|grep console|awk '{ print $1 }');
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ki ckstart -configure -computerinfo -set1 -1 $WHOAMI
+size of the currently logged in user's homedir:+
export WHOAMI=$(who|grep console|awk '{ print $1 }')
du -hc -d 1 /Users/$WHOAMI|grep total;echo /Users/$WHOAMI;
du -hc -d 1 /Users/$WHOAMI/.Trash|grep total;echo " Trash";
+show computer name in Active Directory:+
dsconfigad -show -lu (local admin username) -lp (local admin user's password)|grep Account
+check battery condition - run as a repeating task on a smart group of portables, etc:+
system_profiler |grep Condition
And, of course, all the usual nuke font/MCX caches, add Menu Extras items.. what are your faves?
