Another thing to think about besides Skip's script is that MM3 will provide a
REST API for scriptable control.  Now, the primary admin REST API probably
will not be available, but a protected, authenticated API is worth pursuing.

Another option is to expose more of the command interface through the email
API, but I would like to explore GPG verification for that interface.
