Create some basic webbased control panel to let authorized start/stop/restart bots.

Not sure how authorization would work. Could be restricted to users who have LDAP access to the bots project and then only the bots running under their account.

Or alternatively let the bot developer running it crowd-source basic control, by creating an ad-hoc login system in this web-app (admins can create commands, user groups and users. And commands added to groups. And users added to groups. When user loggs in, he can execute the listed commands).

Commands would be either:

• raw shell commands inserted by the admin through the web interface, given a symbolic name
• or, better yet, the shell user offers .sh files following a certain format (/home/*/controlpanel/foobar.sh), and the admin can choose one of them and give them a symbolic name and add it to a group (the web app would scan the user homes for these scripts).
