I am unhappy to correct you, but there is a 4th way:
 
Get yourself Security Monitor/iX, B3175A. (available as of MPE/iX 5.0).
It has among nice others the feature to disable command access,
whether programmatic or general execution, configurable by command.
 
I do not know the prices in the U.S., but according to the ones here
in Germany it should be a 4-digit$ value (for unlimited # users).
 
 
Hope this helps,
