many of this is already possible by using .rtorrent.rc
some of it isn't really needed, and is covered by other functions.
but that's not to say it's not possible. I personally think this is more of a
bounty
issue. It looks slightly complicated. I'd open a bounty for it in the forums.

also, you should check out the unpack plugin. It has the ability to manually
or
automatically unrar finished torrents.

Some throubles with this.
1) Most of that you can do via .rtorrent.rc.
2) If user can attach script on specific event (in UI, i mean) - this is a large
security hole. If he can't (for example, script/event pair is configured in
some php
file) - we hasn't any profit (see point 1).

You guys are right that many of the usecases I came up with are already
possible with other plugins (unpack)
or modifications of the .rtorrent.rc file.
Despite this, it would still be really handy to have some generic way to run a
customizable bashscript to
answer specific events.
Novik brings up a good point about the potential security risks with this,
although I would disagree that this
is a security "hole."
If an admin of an rtorrent/rutorrent system is installing a
shellscript-executing plugin, they should know that
shellscripts will be executed as a result. This is no more of a security "hole"
than giving someone SSH access
so they can customize their .rtorrent.rc file on their own - any number of
local exploits can be used to gain
root privileges.
There are definite risks associated with the execution of shellscripts, but
since only power-users would ever
install such a plugin, they are likely knowledgeable enough to accept such a
risk.
The benefit of such a plugin would be granting the user the ability to do
anything that .rtorrent.rc *can't* do.

although .rtorrent.rc is configurable, but GUI doesn't have anything on this.
Would
be nice to have few at least one pre-configured option upon torrent completion -
emailing with torrent name.

+1 on this enhancement request.
In the meantime i call my script from move.php just before the mailto action.
If you use event.download.finished in rtorrent.rc, auto move doesn't move
anymore, so we can't use rtorrent.rc for that
