Would you want it to run the command on the same machine that is running the 
shell (this would be my guess), or on the server?

Either way, capabilities where programs can invoke arbitrary other programs, or 
call out to a shell, often end up as attack vectors in security exploits. For 
this reason, I'd prefer not to have a feature like this in the product. Instead 
use Michaels suggestion and script on the outside of neo4j-shell.
