Title: New Script Launcher Module

I had a few python scripts that I wrote to do some sporadic maintenance on the file server I have Maraschino running on. Each time I needed to run them I had to ssh in. I am lazy, and thought it would be nice to be able to click a button and have them run. Thus this module was born.

Some features that it has:

- It can essentially run any type of script (or really any shell command) as the user that Maraschino is currently run as. So for example on OS X you could use set the command to:
```say "If your HTPC is an ice cream sundae then Maraschino is the cherry on top"```
and when you click the link it will run. or you could run a python script by setting command to
```python Test.py```

- You can write scripts that can also update what is displayed in the module. Say you have a script that takes a while, and you would like to know when it is finished, or at what point in the script it is currently at. You could do that. Take a look at https://gist.github.com/3244476 Gist here for example of how it works.

If you have any further suggestions let me know.
