Seems like a great idea! I use bash scripts with an icon in the panel
for helping my wife do some tasks automatically - like resize and
reencode camera videos to .flv then upload it to her site, etc.

I end up rewriting lots of boiler plate in each script (check for $1,
file existence, ...) and such a framework would simplify the
task!
