Yes, I agree that this approach would be better.  The main problem is 
that I intentionally have a wide-variety of systems (hope to add more) 
and each one behaves a little differently.  I would need to create a 
new user account account on all the systems and add a way to 
accomplish the equivalent of 'sudo' on all those systems (perhaps via 
a suid wrapper).
