Customization of Client Auto-deployment Schedule

We would like to modify the auto deploy schedule in order to make it successful in our environment.
In our infra, we do have multiple nodes configured for same host, hence multiple CAD services are running.
After version 8.1.11, we are unable to start multiple CAD service if WEBPORT is mentioned in the dsm.sys file.So before starting the client autodeployment , we want to remove the entry of webport from dsm.sys file using PRESCHEDULECMD option.In autodeploy schedule , preschedule command is NULL by default.Instead of NULL value , we need to give the below option "ex -sc g/^WEBPORT/d -cx /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys".This option is working perfectly when we schedule auto deployment manually and also we can able to upgrade the client successfully.Hence we want to achieve the same via operation center auto deploy schedule.
