Wow, that probably will fix my problems, I'll report my experience after a try. So, as for details on how to create a module, I'm surely not able of writing anything more advanced than a basic shell script, but I need those informations anyway, because maybe Dave or Quaker could help me... well, of course, anyone willing to help me and create the module is of course welcomed :)
