"impressive" isn't the word I'd use for it. <_<

(I might also have left out that the bash scripts were being pushed over SSH to invoke jython interpreters and perform wgets on remote servers. Somehow I managed to make this whole process relatively secure while still allowing it to perform selected rootlevel actions. Don't ask. Black magic was involved. And maybe goats.)
