I'm supposedly developing a system that allows our clients to login  
via the web, retrieve listings of their databases, make backups,  
download them, open them, close them add them etc...

I should have a dev version done by the end of the week, but it  
basically relies on running FM Server Admin from the command line over  
the web (with some extra security to always make sure that login can  
play with this database etc...)
