Does anyone know of a utility which provides a reliable shell for operators
to safely perform routine system maintenance tasks? I am aware of the program
opcom (comp.sources.unix, volume 20) which allows operators to execute
programs for which they would not normally have privelige, but what we need
here is a friendly interface to it. We are running SunOS and Ultrix, and the
operators are not familiar with anything more complex than a refridgerator.

Any tips or better still, source code would be greatly appreciated.

Email please, as usual. Will summarise.
