Yes, I'm sure that we *could* add code to CodeRed.pm that does
everything you suggest, and more.
But I think that it would be a really bad idea. Even if your
intentions are pure, the authorities won't look kindly on attempts to
run administrative tasks on someone else's computer.
And besides, what happens if something goes wrong? ("Sorry, we were
just trying to help; we didn't mean to reboot your system while you
