Sure, as long as I can run such a script. Of course *I* can, since I own
the server, but Joe User can't because I don't give him Shell access so
he can't set it up. Meaning I'll have to set up a general-purpose
script, which is somewhat trickier. Sheer inertia has prevented me from
doing this so far.
