how would you envision an "up to date" way to run a system command?
how would it differ from what you have now?

(i could think of: query some cloud-based service via REST and get the
answer back in JSON. that should be doable with "PuREST JSON", but i
don't know any web-service for such a thing)

[netsend]/[netreceive] and a second process running a bash-loop that
receives any commands via "pdreceive", evals them and send them back via
"pdsend".

probably not what you are looking for, though i have used this in the
past (as it gracefully handles stalling and crashing processes).
