Can I store a Linux command in a database field and then execute it when a button is pushed?
If so, how?

Yes, you can use shell_exec function in PHP to run a command:

Getting access to underlying record data is also easy:

Ooof! I was testing with localhost and couldn't see results.
Promoted the project to real server, and 'poof', I can see results!
