Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

Could you recommend a library that is not GIO or GLIb (both didn't work) 
and gets the work done in JS before I turn to the "echo" solution? If 
you can, that would be sweet :)

Second question: how to give permissions to such a program? Am I 
supposed to run it as "pkexec program.js", or should I just do some 
magic inside the JS to give higher permission only to the small bits of 
code that actually need it? If the case is the latter, could anybody 
enlighten me on the particular magic required?

Thanks again!
