--- Comment #5 from Marc A. Pelletier <[email protected]> ---
I don't think it's a good idea to do this, even in principle.

Various tools have different requirements for being started or stopped
properly, and any interface providing sufficient flexibility for this is
essentially equivalent to allowing arbitrary shell commands to be executed from
a web interface.

Additionally, the creation/management of tool level authentication is
discouraged as it has privacy implications.

Tools that require a web interface should provide it themselves, and should
(ideally) authenticate with OpenID once that is made generally available
(soon).
