We need to deal with security though. On one hand there are server-level information (and tasks) we don't necessarily want to share with all clients. And there is server-side information which is not confidential, yet it can be exploited by hostile client. All this means that we need some sort of authentication and multiple security levels on the server, and have each command associated with one of these levels. And this is even true for the server console, which can simply be regarded as a local, embedded client, which means there is no need to create separate code for local and remote admin consoles.
