It might be useful to allow shell commands to be run. This would allow a more advanced scripting, and such scripts could call MSM manually to run Minecraft commands.

For instance, consider the random gift function we have. This could be translated into a shell script that did the randomising, item selection, and giving to the player.

I think security issues would be minimal as long as the server admins had good security. If someone broke into the server then they could apply their own commands. But I think this is slim?
