Great ! Inn was certainly missing this. We added something like this for
our internal use (sorry that i cannot publish it :( here) roughly 2
years ago. And other commands as well. Perhaps you get inspired by
chapter '3.2.3. Interfacing with a module' of our paper at
http://www.nluug.nl/events/sane98/aftermath/lambermont/full.html We
added commands like 'start', 'stop', 'check', 'reconfigure', 'install',
'backout' and 'remove'.
