[Req] Allow launching in auto-image state

[nmcspadden]

Feature request:
Can you provide a switch or a preference that allows us to launch the program already in "Auto-Image" mode? Upon launch, it should read the preferences and use the primary disk image provided by the server's config plist and immediately download/cache/verify and then turn on Auto-Image mode.

This would allow us to create passive auto-launching auto-imaging restor devices, coupled with a launchagent using "KeepAlive" to ensure it's always running.

I think that's a great idea. What would you want to happen if a disk appears with multiple 'standard' partitions?

What happens right now in that case? I'm okay with it wiping any and every mounted 'standard' partition, and putting the onus on the operator to make sure the machine is in a 'valid' state prior to attachment.

I'm pretty sure right now it'll put your image on each partition, which probably needs to be fixed first as I can't imagine that's ever what anyone wants.
