Summary:                    [patch] Add manager command shell for accessing the
system shell
Description: 
This is just a quick patch for doing a system call from manager.

action:shell: Manager command "shell" - executes a command as if you were
at the shell environment

syntax:

action: shell
command: echo "haha" > /verifyworks


Will execute that command at the shell.

action: shell
command: echo "you'll see this in the return message"
getvar: true

________________________________________________________________

Current problems, if you do a system command, from the gui, try to
get the input back, will it freeze the connection if shell does not
return?

Example:
action: shell
command: while true; do echo "this will never exit :/" ; done
getvar: true

If getvar was not set, it should be fine. I am not sure of a way to
prevent
the user from doing this anyways.

There needs to be more work on the project.

Maybe add certain shell commands that can be executed, etc.
