USE THIS MODULE AT YOUR OWN RISK
This module allows ejabberd administrators
to remotely execute shell commands
which could compromise both
the ejabberd server and the whole machine.

DESCRIPTION
===========
This module provides the ejabberd server administrator a method to remotely
execute shell commands in the ejabberd server.
It provides a page in the ejabberd Web Admin.
Only the administrators of the whole server can access this page.
Three types of commands are possible:
* ejabberd_ctl: makes a call to ejabberd_ctl
* erlang shell: executes an erlang command
* system shell: executes a command on the system shell
The result of the execution will be shown.
In the system shell, only non-interactive commands will work correctly,
for example this will work:
ps -all
Don't use commands that start an interactive mode:
DON'T TRY THIS: top
DON'T TRY THIS: vim readme.txt
This module does not check if the commands are dangerous or problematic,
so this module is only recommended for experienced ejabberd and Erlang/OTP
administrators.
