It would be very helpful if there was a section in the admin's control panel where they could enter and execute UNIX/Linux commands. Something very similar as the command enterer that Webmin has. It has been very frustrating the last few days because the SSHD daemon on the server died and won't start up again and I have no way of trying to fix it because I can't issue any commands remotely. And I have very few days where I can actually sit in front of the server.

As far as I know: Webmin uses a java applet as a SSH client - if sshd isn't isn't running - webmin's shell features wouldn't help.

When you DO have ssh access, login as root and manually setup a cron task to restart sshd - this might help :)

Webmin also has a built-in command enterer that does not use SSH. And also, I have programs running on the server that will automatically start downed services, but the problem is SSH is broken and returns [FAILED] when it tries to start.
