Any way to get a timed button?

Shell command as extension

I would like if there was an extension you could add, and name, and tell it the shell command on the pi itself (just give it a string to execute) like a perl system() call or os.system() call in python. My two cents. We would assume the command was successful, and could redirect the output to a file on the pi for debugging. It would be great to just pass the command to a shell on the pi and forget it.
