calling cli apps

[Spencer Parkin]

Hi,

I would think that the security concerns can be minimized, if not
completely eliminated, by setting up a way to have one snap application
invoke another, possibly itself.  In theory, a snap itself is already
vetted and running in a secure environment.  So what's insecure about one
snap asking the system to invoke another?  Perhaps there are some
constraints on that which need to be had as well.  In any case, my snap
might call some other snap that Ubuntu publishes (that is endowed with
special privileges) that is delegated the responsibility of invoking
processes outside the secure environment, such as a browser.

I don't know; I'm just brain-storming.  Obviously I don't know enough about
the snap technology to talk about it intelligently.

I still need to get a grip on the plugs and slots.
