Wouldn't a better solution be something like this:

function secure_wrapper(user_code, ...)
        local execute = os.execute
        os.execute = nil
        local r = user_code(unpack(arg))
        os.execute = execute
        return r
end
Yes, this would be better - I'd need to do some wrapping around that since that code would need to be written by a user (an 'administrator' user), so it'd be nicer for us if it was easier to use for a novice - but that's a simple 'wrapping' problem - not too hard I don't expect.
