Launch shell commands from user interface

Is there a way to execute shell commands from the Sailfish OS user interface (i.e. without accessing the terminal first)?

Say I have created a shell script to run a backup on some files or to reboot my PC at home. The terminal is great, but I would love to be able to execute stuff like this directly from the user interface.

EDIT: re-phrased this to be 100% feature request, initially it also included a question ("Is it possible...")
