Very cool!
Keith, I have always operated in secure environments where the "user" is an application or system account such as oracle, postgres, tomcat, weblogic and so on. Only trusted administrative personnel are permitted to access the account. However, with that said, your warning warrants attention as anyone who does access the account could change the variables. Thanks for pointing it out.
