I suggest to implement scalable solution, so the final user wont't have
to write separate wrapper for *each* program. universal wrapper is
better solution, but (now i know, that impleme

Almost every attribute can be dangerous if set

That does not handle static binaries :)

That's mad idea - keep similar things in one place! starting programs is
