Having a web interface doesn't help if the web instance is encountering errors ... and can the web admin console respond to messages in halted jobs?

Don't get me wrong ... I'm all for modernization ... but the web isn't the be all, end all, solution for everything. All OS's have command lines (well, maybe not older Mac systems). Users may not need to use them ... but administrator, operators, and programmers certainly do.
