I think it is very good to include this in elog, but, 
since this is also a big security risk (especially if people are
running elogd as root) I would suggest a compile time option to 
enable this, like: gcc... -DALLOW_SCRIPT ...  
The default should be that it is disabled.
Maybe one should only allow it if the user running elogd is NOT root.
