This is the approach I was thinking of taking.  We have a number of command 
line tasks we need to automate, and they make no sense to put a web interface 
in front of... this makes me wonder about my approach much less, thanks.

Hrm... I finally stop lurking.  I guess I should introduce myself real quick:

I am a dev contractor here in seattle.  Born and raised in the area, got to go 
play army all over the place in 1994, came back in 2000 to work (primarily) 
in asp.net for ms... those were dark times ;)  Much happier these days coding 
ruby all day long for The Squad.  I hope to make it out to a hacking night or 
talk soon.

Cheers!
