Look at emctl - it's just a script. You can add what you want to it, provided you can handle fixing with every patch. Google for shell script password to see how to make it ask for a password. As the others noted, beyond that it is an OS security issue. If they can see the script, perhaps they can copy it and make it do what they want.
