OS X script question

EDIT: Sorry, just realized there is an OS X forum on here - feel free to move this post if someone feels the need!

Maybe this is a stupid question, because 90 views on OS X Hints forum and no replies :P

But, really appreciate you reading!

I am curious what the command(s) would look like, if it is even possible to:
A)
Script that would reboot into single-user mode and execute the rest of the script/different one.

B)
Script that would log out of OS X into console and execute the rest of itself or another script. Or would you just have to log out to login window and user >console and execute the script. But, I know that would only work with the right login window options...

Basically, I have a script that we use (we are an AASP) to delete the temporary user and .AppleSetupDone type files so when we return a machine to a customer they get the startup video and setup assistant.
But, we manually have to boot into single-user mode and execute the script.

Not that the process is all that bad, but I'm just curious (since I'd really enjoy some scripting) what this would look like.

Cheers!

NAME
lsmsad - Starts the Storage Administrator (SA) daemon SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lsmsad DESCRIPTION
The SA daemon, lsmsad, is a process required by lsmsa, the SA graphical user interface (GUI). The daemon issues commands and obtains system information on behalf of SA. The SA daemon runs on a Tru64 UNIX system on which LSM is initialized and running. The SA client runs on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment. The SA daemon is automatically started at boot time. Under normal conditions, the daemon does not need to be run manually. If SA does not start during the boot process, enter: /sbin/init.d/lsmsa stop To restart SA, enter: /sbin/init.d/lsmsa start Only one SA daemon can be running on a system at a given time. If a second SA daemon attempts to start, it will fail. RESTRICTIONS
You must be root user to run lsmsad. FILES
The script that starts lsmsad at boot time. The command log file that tracks SA tasks. The access log file that tracks login to SA. The server log file that tracks server startup information and server errors. The log maintenance shell script that saves and compresses log files. SEE ALSO
