This is something that I have been wanting to tackle for a while as well.
Just have not had the time to get around to it. The controlled roll-out
should also include some way to track if a task was completed on a given
machine. I was planning on implementing something using mysql and a module
in cfengine. What ideas have you had about this?

One thing I've been thinking about for a while is some way to do a
controlled roll-out, which is similar to a one-off command.
Controlled update roll-outs are making this more of a necessity. THe
idea is that I can update certain machines now, more machines one week
later, and more machines the week after that, until all are done. This
is related to a one-time-only task in that this sort of thing would
only be done periodically.
Installs also come to mind. There are certain things I don't want done
all the time that are only done during an installation. If the
installation requirements change (that is, a new utility needs to be
installed) then I would want to install that utility once only
throughout the enterprise.
